Engadine Valley
St Moritz is located in the broad, long Engadine Valley (map) extending from Bever and Samedan to St Moritz, then through Champfèr, Suvretta, Silvaplana and Sils to the Maloja Pass (1786 m/5955 ft); and from Punt Muragl through Pontresina to Morteratsch and the Bernina Pass (2286 m/7621 ft). Every town in the valley has a special beauty or attraction.
