HOUSE DESCRIPTION Acla Albanatscha, a Maiensäss (traditional Alpine summer dwelling) from the 18th century, is idyllically and secludedly situated above Silvaplana in the Engadin, just a few minutes' drive from St. Moritz. Access is via a rising gravel road through the forest, which occasionally opens up views of Lake Silvaplana, Corvatsch, and small waterfalls. From the west side, you can enjoy views of Piz Margna; looking east, the view sweeps toward Corviglia and Muottas Muragl. To the south rises Corvatsch, to the north Albana, while the Julier Road remains pleasantly visible in the distance. Depending on the season, the surroundings are characterized by blooming alpine meadows, pastures, golden larches, or a snowy winter landscape. With a bit of luck, you may spot marmots, deer, or even a fox. Access is via a gravel road. In winter, all-wheel drive is required; in icy conditions, snow chains or lighter vehicles are advantageous. There is a winter road service, but the road and some sections may still be difficult to drive on at times. Therefore, a walk to or from Silvaplana should always be considered as an option. Alternatively, cars can be parked in the Munterots parking garage. In snow and icy conditions, driving at walking speed and braking carefully is important. Particularly tricky are the first few meters after the turnoff from Via dal Güglia and the section between the electrical cabin and Acla Albanatscha.
