The Engadin is the valley of the Inn ( En) in Switzerland ( Schweiz) Panorama of the Upper Engadine from Muottas Muragl, showing peaks Piz Muragl, Piz Julier and Piz Ot, as well as St. Moritz town and Celerina. The highest mountains of the wider area of the Engadine is the Bernina Range in the southwestern part. What is St. Moritz known for? Moritz is more than just a holiday resort. It was also the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism (in 1864) and has twice hosted the Winter Olympics. Nevertheless, St. Moritz first became famous thanks to its mineral springs, which were discovered 3,000 years ago and established the town as a summer spa resort early on. St Moritz is a hotbed of winter Olympic sports. Blinged-up St Moritz is the spiritual home of the glitterati, an opulent outpost for rich and famous people who own a chalet, a jet, a kingdom. And obviously you can do it hands free by taking the trains - Varenna-Esino to Tirano, Italy then the famous Bernina Pass Railway to St Moritz - to me the world's most awesomely scenic rail ride. .
