THE ENGADINE
The almost-3000km-long Inn River (En in Romansch) springs up from the snowy
Graubünden Alps around the Maloja Pass and gives its name to the Engadine. The valley is
carved into two: the Oberengadin (Upper Engadine), from Maloja to Zernez; and the Unter-
engadin (Lower Engadine), stretching from Zernez to Martina, by the Austrian border.

Oberengadin is dominated by the ritzy ski resort of St Moritz, while Unterengadin, home
to the country's only national park, is characterised by quaint villages with sgraffito-decor-
ated houses and pristine countryside.
