Zuoz
One of the best-preserved old villages in Upper Engadine. Around the square stand thick-walled noble mansions with sgraffito decoration, and a white church spire rises above them.
Zuoz was once the administrative center of Upper Engadine. Its main square and lanes retain many 16th- and 17th-century mansions of the Planta family, with finely decorated sgraffito façades and wrought-iron window grilles. Inside the San Luzi church are stained-glass windows designed by Augusto Giacometti. The village is quiet and has few visitors, so one or two hours is enough. By train from St. Moritz it takes about 20 minutes, and it can be visited together with Samedan.
