Cross Country Skiing

Sils is a paradise for cross-country skiing enthusiasts, regardless of whether you are just getting into the sport, are already a pro or simply want to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Whether classic or skating, everyone gets their money's worth in and around Sils. The Engadin offers over 220 magical kilometers of cross-country ski trails and the sunniest of these are in Sils and on the frozen Silsersee.

Silser Lake Cross-Country Trails

As soon as the ice on Lake Sils is thick enough and the snow conditions are favorable, we prepare wonderful cross-country trails across the glistening expanse towards Maloja, as well as to Plaun da Lej and Surlej/Silvaplana. The joy of gliding across these wide-open spaces is written all over the faces of Nordic skiing fans. The 12-kilometer route crosses Lake Sils, Lake Silvaplana, and Lake Champfèr, forming part of the famous Engadin Skimarathon course, passing idyllic side valleys and the picturesque village of Isola.
