As the central village of upper Engadin, Samedan is an ideal base for hike, days of skiing and cultural exploration in the entire valley. A wonderful historic town centre, an 18-hole golf course, as well as the tobbogan run on Muottas Muragl and numerous prepared winter routes offer a great variety.

The skiing is extensive and varies, beginning at Muottas Muragl, which is within easy reach by cable railway, in the mountain of Samedan, and spreading over 5 ski areas with cross country trails running the length of the valley. The resort is also a paradise for snowboarders of all standards with 4 fun parks and several obstacle courses.
