Engadin Switzerland on a Budget: Silsersee Fall – Most beautiful Autumn Hike

The Engadin is one of Switzerland’s most touristy regions. With that it is also apparent that it is quite a costly area to stay at, especially when thinking about St. Moritz. Thankfully, there are a couple of places that can be visited even on a budget. For example the lake of Sils! There is this great spot for hiking just at Plaun da Lej. It’s a free parking lot just at one of my favorite secret spots in Switzerland. You may choose then to hike up to the village Grevasalvas to get an even better view of the lake. The hike will take you through a forest full of larches. During Autumn, these are going to be glowing in a beautiful golden color, which is really fascinating. After only 20 minutes of hiking, you will have a brilliant view over the larch forest and the lake of Sils. The organe-golden larches are nicely contrasting the navy blue lake of Sils and the snow mountains. Also consider to visit the peninsula at Plaun da Lej. It takes around 10 minutes from the parking lot to reach the tip at where you can take great photos. The peninsula is also full of golden larches and especially during the afternoon with the shallow sunlight, it’s going to be really beautiful. The best thing about this activity is: Everything is free! You will not have to spend any single cent except on getting there by car or by bus. It’s a brilliant activity for people who try to travel on a budget.

+1. .. Wow! .. The North American Rocky Mountain range is jealous... I'd luv to drive a Carrera S 911 (993) through the Swiss mountain twisty's. . Cheers, Vail, Colorado

Well, beautiful video, thanks for the advertising - one thing - St. Moritz is not a "must" to be expensive, it all depends what you expect, you can spend a few days here even on a low budget !!!

Fantastic beauty. i'm ready to repeat it again and again. Thanks a lot💕

[timmccabe]

Thanks Djemo. Your travel and videos gives us all a much needed window into Switzerland when we can’t be there ourselves.

Hi Djemo,

Your videos are truly amazing, love to see and follow them for an upcoming trip. Keep sharing such hidden gems on earth :)

Thanks for your work to show the world the beauty of Switzerland! I live in Wädenswil and started a history channel with documentaries. May i ask you if you would recommend your Sony α6500 further for shooting documentaries in good resolution and still taking good pictures?
Last tip: I went hiking in Val Lumnezia and the old villages such as Vrin are so pristine. All built in wood with beautiful churches, feels like they are cut out from the world. Maybe close to what you shot at Evolène in Wallis but less known.

[junem.fuerst]
