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.

Zarathustra’s all-round song

One!
Oh man! Pay attention!
Two!
What does deep midnight say?
Three!
"I slept, I slept-,
Four!
"I woke up from a deep dream: -
Five!
"The world is deep,
Six!
“And deeper than the day thought.
Seven!
"Her pain is deep -,
Eight!
"Lust - deeper than heartache:
Nine!
“Woe says: Go away!
Ten!
"But all lust wants eternity -,
Eleven!
‘- wants deep, deep eternity"
Twelve!*

* Nietzsche, Friedrich

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.

Church of San Lurench

Highlight • Religious Site

The picturesque church of San Lurench is located in the center of the Baselgia district of Sils. It is surrounded by a cemetery and the Inn river flows next to it.

There is a post bus stop right in front of the church, where there is also a direct bus service to St. Moritz.
