Night sky in the Engadin

Bild: Mayk Wendt

In the holiday region Engadin Samnaun Val Müstair, the night reveals itself to you in its most original form. Far from the bright lights of the cities and surrounded by alpine landscapes, you will experience a night sky that is rarely seen in Central Europe: stars, moonlight, and, with a bit of luck, a view of the Milky Way and distant planets. The low level of light pollution – thanks in part to regional initiatives like «Plan Lumière» – makes the Engadin one of the best places in Switzerland for stargazing, photography, and nighttime nature experiences.

Clear nights, stars and silence.

On the way at night.

Whether sledging under the stars at night, taking part in a photography workshop, visiting the Swiss observatory in Lü or swimming under the stars at night – the holiday region invites you to raise your eyes, find peace and let yourself be touched by the vastness of the night sky.

Discover offers for starry nights, low-light views and impressive experiences.
