Lake Silvaplana & Muottas Muragl Hikes

The Engadin’s natural stage comes alive here, where sparkling blue waters meet wide-open skies and trails that feel designed for daydreaming. Around Lake Silvaplana, paths wind gently along the shoreline, perfect for leisurely walks with mountain reflections shimmering off the surface.

Muottas Muragl, reached by a scenic funicular that takes the effort out of the climb, opens up to sweeping valley views that seem to stretch forever. The trails here are as inviting as they are manageable—gentle gradients, well-marked paths and plenty of resting spots—making them ideal for families or anyone who wants to enjoy the alpine air without a strenuous trek.

Children love the funicular ride, and once at the top, there are routes suited to all ages, each rewarding with a fresh perspective on the Engadin’s dramatic peaks and lakes. Expect about three hours of walking at an easy pace, with plenty of opportunities to pause, breathe and soak it all in.
