Muottas Muragl
A century-old mountain funicular climbs to a 2,456-meter viewing point overlooking the entire chain of Upper Engadine lakes. It is the best place to watch the sunset.
From Punt Muragl station, a funicular opened in 1907 takes about 10 minutes to reach the summit. From the terrace of the mountain hotel, you can look out over the lake chain stretching from Samedan and St. Moritz all the way to Maloja. The area is widely recognized as one of the best sunset viewpoints. In summer, the flat Philosophenweg path is recommended, or you can walk downhill to Alp Languard or Pontresina on the panoramic route (about 2 to 3 hours). In winter, a sledge run of about 4 km takes you back to the valley. A round-trip funicular ticket costs about CHF 40, and is often included in summer accommodation passes.
