The hotel enjoys a quiet location with panoramic views of the Inn Valley and the Engadine mountains from floor-to-ceiling windows.
You are staying in a beautiful spa hotel nested just by the side of the mountain and surrounded by stunning pristine nature. The ellipse shaped hotel features huge windows along one of the walls which allows you to enjoy magnificent views during the day and fall asleep looking out at the stars. There is also a bathtub with a view available in the room, lots of lovely details and outstanding wooden decor. If you prefer simplicity, there is a more basic choice of room available which is a little smaller and has a regular bathroom. These rooms are in the older building of the hotel. Both types of rooms are available for double / twin or single occupancy.

Included in the retreat fee are generous delicious brunches at the hotel every day featuring lots of scrumptiously fresh local produce as well as a welcome dinner at a restaurant in the village.
As an unforgettable addition to the retreat, it is possible to book a helicopter trip over the Engadine Valley and St Moritz mountain - it is considered one of the most visually enchanting flights in the Alpine region. Another great extra is visiting a local baker/confectioner who can either organise some chocolate tasting or local cake baking course for our group or a part of our group.
