Silvaplana: Restaurant 3303 - Piz Corvatsch - Munt Arlas
Few places in the Upper Engadine have a history as closely tied to alpine tourism as Silvaplana. The village lies between Lake Silvaplana and Lake Champfèr, beneath the high peaks of the Bernina Range. Piz Corvatsch, rising to 3,451 metres, is the dominant summit above the Corvatsch cableway; its upper station includes Restaurant 3303, named for its altitude. Nearby Munt Arlas belongs to the same rugged ridge system. Silvaplana is also a leading centre for windsurfing and kitesurfing on Lake Silvaplana, while Corvatsch forms one of the Engadine’s principal ski areas. Romansh place names remain an important part of the valley’s cultural identity.

Silvaplana sits on the shore of Lake Silvaplana in Switzerland’s Upper Engadine, where a wide alpine valley is enclosed by high peaks. The lake lies between Lake Sils and St. Moritz and is known for the dependable Maloja wind, which has made the village an established centre for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Surlej, part of the municipality, is the departure point for the Corvatsch cable car, leading towards one of the Engadine’s major high-altitude ski areas. In winter, the frozen lake forms part of the route of the annual Engadin Skimarathon. Browse additional webcams from the Upper Engadine to extend your view of Silvaplana and its lake country.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
