Hotel Fex
Engadin, Switzerland
Nestled in the tranquil mountain landscape of the Upper Engadine, Hotel Fex is a historic alpine hideaway where time seems to slow down. Surrounded by flowering alpine meadows, majestic peaks and breathtaking views of the Engadin glaciers, this secluded retreat invites guests to experience the mountains in their most peaceful and authentic form. The hotel has a remarkable history: originally located in St. Moritz, the building was dismantled piece by piece in the late 19th century and rebuilt in the remote Fex Valley. Since 1904, it has embodied a distinctive blend of heritage, heartfelt hospitality and the timeless beauty of the Engadin.
16 cosy rooms, a beautifully preserved historic dining room and the rustic Stüva, warmed by a crackling fireplace, create an atmosphere of understated alpine charm. The restaurant celebrates regional and seasonal cuisine, while spacious sun terraces offer sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers. Whether exploring the unspoilt landscape on foot, arriving on a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride or unwinding over a leisurely dinner by the fire, Hotel Fex offers a rare opportunity to experience the Engadin at its most authentic – a place to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with nature, tranquillity and the simple pleasures of mountain life.
