Cultural Walk Through Samedan and Bever

From ancient towers to hidden frescoes, this walk reveals a quieter side of the Engadin.

Then, after a scenic walk through the valley, you’ll reach Bever—where the journey ends among centuries-old chapels and the beautifully preserved Chesa Salis. A peaceful path through history, faith, and alpine elegance.
