The Engadine Valley is traditionally Romansh-speaking, although almost everyone also speaks German. The Valley is divided into two sections, the Upper Engadine (Oberengadin) and the Lower Engadine (Unterengadin). St. Moritz is the main resort in the Upper Engadine. St. Moritz has been one of the world’s best known holiday spots for a century or more. This is where the jet set come to play and pose, where social high-flyers, European royalty and international jetset celebrate winter with an endless round of banquets and spectacles on the frozen lake. But do not think that everything here is St.Moritz-style glamour; also as a not-so-rich you can visit. Celerina is further away from the hustle, but still close to the action. Regarded as Engadine's sunniest resort, it’s located at the heart of the Upper Engadine holiday region, which means that visitors never have far to go whatever their destination. In winter there are three main ski and snowboard sectors, the sunny Corviglia-Piz Nair, the Corcatsch-Furtschellas and the Diavolezza-Lagalp. All are within easy reach from St. Moritz and Celerina.
