Sils im Engadin
Sils im Engadin is a village in the Maloja region. It is situated between the Silvaplanersee and the Silsersee. The picturesque Lake Sils is surrounded by majestic mountains and is ideal for hiking, cycling and water sports. The district of Sils Maria is popular for winter sports. Quite a few houses in Sils stand out for their sgraffito decorations. The scratching technique dates back to the 17th century, when it was also begun to quarry the "fexer plates" in the rear Fex valley for the construction of stoves and the covering of the house roofs. The house where Friedrich Nietzsche lived and worked is now a museum.

“5 stars for the mountain views, lucky with the weather and to be seated on the revolving part of the restaurant. Most of the cable staff were confused with this app/ticket, only one out of six knew to scan the QR code with a different app, the rest let us through the barrier with a couple of them saying we should have had a paper or different sort of ticket. No extra cost etc. but be warned. Waitress in the restaurant didn't recognise the ticket either so had to check with a manager but all good in the end. Meat and cheese board for 2 people as expected - four different ones of each, a couple of pieces of cheese, four slices of each meat.”
