Chalandamarz - an old Engadiner tradition

Chalandamarz, a traditional festival in Engadin, is celebrated on March 1 to drive away winter. With bells, whip-cracking, and singing, children welcome the arrival of spring. This custom has its roots in Roman times.

Experience this unique tradition up close and enjoy relaxing days at our hotel, where tradition and comfort come together.
