Experience DE – winter

Snow topped mountain at Dusk

At Chesa Marchetta, discover simple, thoughtful experiences in the Engadin. In winter, it becomes a playground for adventurers and those seeking tranquility in nature.

Guided Walks

Join a guided snow walk from the hotel and discover the natural beauty of Sils and its surroundings. The path takes you through the forest and along the frozen lake. It’s an easy, relaxed way to discover the valley and its traditions.

Adventure seekers can explore the valley on a guided snowshoe walk through snow-covered landscapes, ending with a warming glass of glühwein.

Outdoor Pursuits

In Sils Maria, we are a short distance from the slopes of St Moritz, Corvatsch, and Furtschellas. Cross-country skiers can enjoy routes around both lakes and in Val Fex. Families can enjoy Muot Marias ice rink behind the hotel, which welcomes all ages, and nearby tobogganing on the winding 6 km Preda to Bergün run.

Crasta Farm

Just beyond the doorstep of Chesa Marchetta lies the Val Fex, a legendary alpine valley celebrated for its pristine beauty. In winter, guests travel by traditional horse and carriage lined with cowhides and thick blankets, winding gently along snow-covered trails.

The journey leads to Crasta Farm, one of Chesa Marchetta’s closest and most trusted local suppliers of meat and milk.

Stories of Sgraffito

Join the artist behind our hotel’s sgraffito designs for a guided tour of Sils Maria. Sgraffito is an ancient decorative plaster technique, layers of contrasting colour are applied to a façade and carefully scratched away, leaving intricate patterns beneath. This tour offers an opportunity to explore the craft in its natural setting.

Interior of Museum Engiadinais

Local Museums

The Museum Engiadinais offers an elegant introduction to the valley’s craft heritage, particularly its decorated interiors and façades. Nearby, Nietzsche‑Haus preserves the summer home where Friedrich Nietzsche wrote poetry and music. Seasonal exhibitions can also be found in local galleries, including Galleria Fex, Atelier SAX, and the Sils Museum.

Hotel Art Tour

Take a tour of the striking artworks throughout the corridors and corners of Chesa Marchetta with our knowledgeable team. Many of the artists have strong links to the region and several, such as Louise Bourgeois, Philip Guston, Paul McCarthy, and Jason Rhoades, are Hauser & Wirth gallery DNA artists.
