Tips for your holidays

Useful Apps

These apps are almost indispensable for your holiday in the Engadin:

MeteoSwiss is the most reliable weather app for the whole of Switzerland, especially the Alpine region

SBB Mobile is indispensable for all public transport in Switzerland. Here you can find the best connections and, if necessary, buy tickets at the moment

By far the best navigation app in the Swiss Alps:

You can save the map data offline in the swisstopo app. Important for longer tours that may lead you into dead spots!

You can also save your own tours here.

The SwitzerlandMobility app displays our tours more beautifully.
But you can’t create your own tours and save maps offline in the free version.
