Nietzsche Memorial Plaque on the Chastè Peninsula

Highlight • Monument

The Chastè peninsula, the Juvel of Lake Sils, is where poets and philosophers would have wanted to stay forever. For F. Nietzsche it was also one of the most beautiful places in the Engadine, which is why the memorial plaque was erected here.

Bench with a view over Lake Sils

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lookout point on the western tip of the Chastè peninsula, which protrudes far into Lake Sils. An extremely rewarding circular hike around this or on this peninsula opens up many similarly beautiful views. In addition, the vegetation is exciting and diverse. A lot of orchids bloom at the right time.

On the way back from Lake Como we took a "detour" over the Maloja Pass, thanks Daniel for the tip 👍🏻
To stretch our legs and enjoy the atmosphere, we went for a hike across the beautiful peninsula on Lake Sils and enjoyed the air and the view.
