Samedan is a historic mountain village in the Upper Engadin valley, positioned at the crossroads of major Alpine routes and offering stunning views of the surrounding peaks. The village maintains a peaceful, authentic character despite its proximity to St. Moritz, with traditional Engadin houses and a centuries-old town center. As a stop on the Glacier Express route, it provides easy access to some of Switzerland's most spectacular mountain scenery. The area is known for its excellent hiking trails, cross-country skiing, and the nearby Muottas Muragl viewpoint offering panoramic vistas over the Engadin lakes.
