Silvaplana: Corvatsch - Mittelstation Murtèl, Silsersee
Silvaplana combines a compact Engadin settlement with an expansive high-alpine lakeshore in a way that reflects its position between Lake Silvaplana and the surrounding Alps. The lake lies in the Upper Engadin valley near St. Moritz, and its waters continue through Lake Champfèr toward the Inn. Its open surface has made Silvaplana an established centre for sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing, while the Corvatsch mountain area rises above the nearby village of Surlej. Hiking routes and mountain transport connect the lakeside communities with higher terrain. Romansh, the traditional language of the Engadin, remains an important part of local identity alongside German.

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.
