Family holidays in winter

Family holidays are a special time when shared experiences and precious moments are the focus. Sils is an ideal place to create memories that will last a lifetime. Skiing, sledding, ice skating. These are just a few of the many winter activities for families in Sils. How about something completely different, like a carriage ride into the Fex Valley or night skiing? There is definitely something for everyone!

Sledging & Snowtubing

Rush down the snowy slopes with your children and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of winter! The toboggan run in God Laret is fun for the whole family. In February, there is also a toboggan race every Wednesday evening in Muot Marias children's area. If you like tobogganing, you are guaranteed to have a lot of fun snow tubing in Maloja!

Ice skating & ice hockey

Right next to the Muot Marias children's area in the village center is the ice rink, where you can go ice skating, play ice hockey and relax. Don't have your own skates? No problem, you can rent them on site. Refreshments are also provided: in "Daniel's Plazzet" you will find a variety of hot and cold drinks and food, while you can enjoy the sun on the forecourt of the restaurant.

Story

Experience the engadine tradition

When children's singing, cowbells and the cracking of whips ring through the village streets - then it is Chalandamarz. A custom almost as old as the mountain villages themselves.
