Julier Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

As the main traffic artery between the Upper Engadin and the rest of the world, the Julier Pass is quite busy, but remains open throughout the winter. The road passes 964 meters in altitude from Tiefencastel (851 m) to Silvaplana (1815 m).

Lake St. Moritz

Highlight • Lake

In summer, a clean mountain lake with a well-kept shoreline for relaxing after a mountain hike. In winter, the ice surface is the venue for horse racing and cross-country skiing in a very special way.

View of Lake St. Moritz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sankt Moritz is the world famous "metropolis" in the Alps. Twice Olympic Winter Games were held there in 1928 and 1948. Away from the hustle and bustle in the center but you will find many idyllic places where you can relax and unwind, such as on the shores of the lake.

The story of St. Moritz begins in 1864

The story of St. Moritz, as we know it today, begins in 1864, when hotelier Johannes Badrutt made a bet with his guests from Great Britain. He promised that not only the summer, but also the St. Moritz winter would be so pleasant that on sunny days one could enjoy the sun on the terrace without a jacket. Should his promise prove false, the hotelier would pay for their travel and winter stay. Wrapped head to toe in furs, the group of men crossed the Julier Pass the following December. Upon arriving in St. Moritz, the sky was clear, the sun warm, and Badrutt stood before them to greet them without a jacket and with his shirtsleeves rolled up. Winter tourism was born.

Julier Pass Ascent from Silvaplana

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The Julier climb of Silvaplana is rather tame and short, yet scenic quite beautiful, because you have the whole time very nice view, but for the price of correspondingly little shade. Also, the Julier is in contrast to the nearby Albula but rather heavy traffic, which especially in the main holiday time spoils the enjoyment a bit. The road is very wide and leads from Silvaplana first in some curves up the slope, but then turns off soon in the valley bottom, which you follow on almost straight track to the pass.
