Val Fex
A car-free valley south of Sils Maria, where meadows, wooden huts and a glacier on the valley floor make up one of the most tranquil landscapes in the Engadine.
Val Fex is about 8 km long and closed to traffic except for residents' vehicles. Visitors can walk, cycle or ride a horse-drawn carriage in. The classic route runs from Sils Maria along the valley road to the Crasta chapel, which has 16th-century frescoes, and on to Hotel Fex. The round trip takes about 3-4 hours on gentle grades, making it suitable for families. The valley floor is the Fex Glacier, and in summer the meadows burst with alpine flowers. Carriage rides must be booked in advance with a carriage company in Sils.
