CRESTA PALACE SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS 2018 WELCOME TO THE ENGADINE MOUNTAIN SUMMER

Dear Friends of the Cresta Palace

The Engadine mountain summer is

here, refreshing and rejuvenating.

It stretches from the incomparable

spring splendour of alpine flowers to

the Indian Summer in autumn which

brings utter delight with its array of

colours and its unique light. This display

of nature, second to none, offers a lot

of variety and the perfect backdrop for

active relaxation with hiking, golf, yoga,

re-charging your batteries at the shores

of a mystical mountain lake or hanging

out leisurely in an idyllic hotel park.

A number of exclusive events, in the

area of sports, lifestyle or culture,

bring real variety to the summer.

112 years of hospitality, a lot of Art

Nouveau charm, two restaurants, a sun

terrace, cake buffet and minibar are

included in our services. Tennis courts

and the historic village centre of

Celerina are directly at our hotel

doorstep and the Lej da Staz, perfect

for a daily dip in its clear waters, is the

distance of an easy walk away.

Culinary highlights, created in the

Cresta Palace kitchen and tempting

wellness and treatment programmes

from the «vita pura» Spa guarantee

your recreation and enjoyment.

A word of recommendation: take your

time for the mountain summer – it is

well worth it! From two nights on the

use of all mountain railways and public

transport in the Upper Engadine is

free, including the transport of your

bike and your four-legged friend, and

of course fresh mountain spring water

and invigorating alpine air.

We are happy to recommend our

mountain summer packages to you!

See you soon, best wishes from

Celerina
