Engadine Valley, Switzerland

Introduction

The Engadin or Engadine is a long breathtaking valley in the Swiss Alps spotted in the canton of Graubünden in southeast Switzerland. It takes after the course of the Inn Stream from its headwaters at Maloja Pass running northeast until the Inn flows into Austria, one hundred kilometers downstream. The Engadin is secured by high mountains on all sides and is renowned for its sunny atmosphere, wonderful scenes, and open air exercises.

Etymology & Geography

In Romansh, which is the indigenous dialect of the area, the "Engadin" actually deciphers as the Inn Garden; the enclosure of the Inn Stream, then again, verifiably, politically, and topographically, the Engadin alludes to the whole district, including the Inn Waterway Valley, its tributaries, and the encompassing mind blowing mountains. 

The Engadin valley lies at the middle of the Elevated run and constitutes the upper piece of the 300 km-long In valley. From the Maloja Pass (1,815 m) to the outskirt to Tyrol (1,000 m) north of Vinadi the valley runs for a length of 100 km, constantly over 1,000 meters in rise. The most elevated heaps of the valley are in the Bernina Extend in the upper part. 

The Engadin is partitioned into two sections: 

1. The Upper Engadin from Maloja to Zernez, where the valley is strikingly straight and wide, and up to S-chanf, reasonably level. 
2. The Lower Engadine from Zernez to the Austrian fringe, where the Inn drops all the more rapidly and its way is more convoluted.
