Buying and selling real estate in the Engadin

St. Moritz is considered one of the most exclusive vacation destinations in the world and regularly sets new standards in the real estate market. The combination of international flair, first-class infrastructure, high alpine scenery and a wide range of leisure activities ensures consistently high demand throughout all seasons.

The market achieves the highest prices in the entire region: upmarket condominiums are priced at up to CHF 27,000 per square meter, luxury properties reach around CHF 38,000 and in the absolute top segment in prime locations even up to CHF 50,000. For detached houses, prices start at around 36,000 francs per square meter and rise to around 50,000 francs and more for properties in excellent locations; on the Suvretta slope, they even start at 75,000 francs. The supply ratios are very low in all segments and stand at 2.1 percent for both condominiums and single-family homes.

Prices have risen sharply since the turn of the millennium – with around 200 percent growth in single-family homes and around 210 percent in condominiums. St. Moritz thus remains the strongest and most prestigious real estate location in the whole of German-speaking Switzerland, characterized by scarcity, international demand and stable long-term market values.

Champfèr is located between St. Moritz and Silvaplana and is one of the most sought-after residential areas in the Upper Engadine. The district combines historic Engadine buildings with quiet neighborhoods and proximity to lakes, cross-country ski trails and mountain railroads.

The real estate market is geared towards the high price levels in the region and is correspondingly high-end: upmarket condominiums are priced at around CHF 22,000 per square meter and luxury properties at around CHF 29,000. Supply remains scarce, demand high and international in character. Champfèr benefits directly from the strong market environment of St. Moritz and at the same time from a quieter, family-friendly atmosphere. This makes the village one of the most sought-after addresses for high-quality first and second homes in the Upper Engadine.

Surlej is located directly on Lake Silvaplana and is one of the most sought-after locations in the Upper Engadine. The small, sunny hamlet combines direct access to the lake with impressive mountain panoramas and quick access to the Corvatsch area. Its proximity to Silvaplana and at the same time its quieter character make Surlej a preferred location for high-quality first and second homes.

The real estate market is correspondingly strong: condominiums in Silvaplana reach up to 22,000 francs per square meter, luxury properties up to around 26,500 francs. Prices for detached houses are around 25,000 francs per square meter, with top properties even reaching around 37,000 francs. The supply quotas are extremely low, which further reinforces the high demand and scarcity of the market. Surlej is therefore an exclusive residential location on the lake – with modern infrastructure, direct leisure facilities and stable long-term real estate values.

La Punt Chamues-ch is located at the entrance to the La Plaiv region and is one of the most architecturally impressive villages in the Upper Engadin. The combination of the historic Engadine village center, vast landscape and good accessibility makes the village an attractive residential and vacation destination.

The real estate market is correspondingly high-end: condominiums in the upper segment reach around CHF 18,500 per square meter, while luxury properties are around CHF 22,000 and occasionally even higher. Single-family homes cost around CHF 19,000 per square meter, while exclusive houses fetch up to CHF 27,000. The supply ratio remains tight and currently stands at 1.1 percent for condominiums. Prices have risen sharply since the turn of the millennium – by around 185 percent for condominiums and around 190 percent for detached houses. La Punt Chamues-ch thus remains one of the most sought-after addresses in La Plaiv, characterized by a high quality of life, an intact village structure and long-term stable property prices.

Madulain is the smallest municipality in the Upper Engadine and a place of rare originality. With around 200 inhabitants and an idyllic location on the River Inn, the village combines historic Engadine architecture with absolute tranquillity and a clear natural backdrop. The special residential location is also reflected in the real estate market: scarcity, authenticity and high location quality ensure consistently strong demand. Anyone looking for a home here is investing in quality of life with style and lasting value.

Zuoz is one of the most architecturally beautiful villages in the Upper Engadine and impresses with its historic townscape, sunny location and distinctly high residential and leisure value.

Single-family homes are around CHF 16,500 per square meter, while exclusive properties fetch up to CHF 24,500. The supply quotas are low and currently stand at 0.8 percent for condominiums. Since the turn of the millennium, prices for condominiums have risen by around 160 percent and for single-family homes by around 140 percent. Zuoz thus remains one of the most sought-after addresses in La Plaiv – with strong demand, a high quality of life and stable real estate prices in the long term.

S-chanf is one of the characteristic villages of La Plaiv and combines traditional Engadin architecture with an open landscape and plenty of peace and quiet.

Celerina is one of the sunniest and most attractive residential areas in the Upper Engadine and benefits from its close proximity to St. Moritz. The village combines traditional Engadine architecture with a modern, lively atmosphere and offers first-class leisure facilities all year round.

The real estate market is one of the strongest in the entire valley: condominiums reach around 22,000 francs per square meter in the upscale segment, luxury properties around 27,000 francs and over 30,000 francs in the top segment. Single-family homes are around CHF 26,000 per square meter, while exclusive properties fetch around CHF 35,000 and more. The supply ratio remains very low, at just 0.9 percent for condominiums.

Celerina thus stands out as one of the most sought-after addresses for first and second homes – sunny, well connected and with a high quality of life.

Pontresina is one of the most renowned vacation and residential addresses in the Upper Engadine. The sunny high valley, the proximity to the Bernina massif and the lively hotel and restaurant scene give the village a strong, year-round appeal.

Accordingly, the real estate market is at a very high level: condominiums cost around CHF 20,000 per square meter for upmarket properties, luxury apartments around CHF 25,000 and even over CHF 30,000 in the top segment. Single-family houses reach around 23,500 francs per square meter, and high-end houses around 35,000 francs and more. The supply ratio is low and stands at 0.9 percent for condominiums. Since the turn of the millennium, prices for condominiums have risen by around 225 percent – a clear indication of the sustained high demand. Pontresina combines alpine elegance, excellent leisure facilities and an international guest appeal, making it one of the most sought-after real estate locations in the entire Engadin.

Samedan is the lively center of the Upper Engadine and one of the most versatile residential addresses in the region. The village combines tradition, good accessibility and a strong infrastructure – from the regional airport to a wide range of health and educational facilities. The real estate market is correspondingly stable and in demand:

Condominiums are priced at around 17,500 francs per square meter, in the high-end segment at around 22,000 francs. Single-family homes fetch around CHF 20,000 per square meter, while high-end properties reach up to around CHF 31,000. The supply quotas remain low and currently stand at 1.8 percent for condominiums. Since the turn of the millennium, prices have risen by around 175 percent – a sign of long-term attractiveness and strong demand. Samedan is therefore an ideal location for anyone who wants to combine a central location, high quality of life and a solid real estate environment.

Bever is one of the most unspoilt and peaceful residential locations in the Upper Engadine – an ideal destination for anyone looking for a natural, authentic environment, yet still within easy reach of St. Moritz, Samedan or Celerina. The charming village with its traditional Engadine houses is one of the most sought-after real estate locations in the region.

Prices are at a high level: condominiums are at around 17,500 francs per square meter, luxury properties at around 22,000 francs. Single-family homes reach around 18,500 francs per square meter, while rare top properties are priced at up to 25,000 francs.

Since the turn of the millennium, prices have risen by around 175 percent – a clear indication of the long-term attractiveness and stability of the real estate market in Bever. The village thus remains a sought-after location for primary and secondary residences that combines living close to nature with a high quality of life.

Sils is considered one of the most idyllic places in the Engadin lake region – a quiet, light-flooded village between Lake Sils, vast larch forests and a panorama that has inspired artists and nature lovers for generations. The real estate market is correspondingly high quality and very scarce. The achievable prices are well above the regional average: condominiums reach up to CHF 24,000 per square meter, with top properties at over CHF 26,500. Single-family homes are around 22,500 francs per square meter, while top properties fetch up to around 35,000 francs. The supply rate is extremely low, currently only 0.4 percent for condominiums. This combination of nature, tranquillity, quality of location and a very limited supply makes Sils one of the most sought-after residential and vacation destinations in the world.

Silvaplana is a place that radiates power and lightness at the same time – nestled between Lake Silvaplana, the wide Engadin plains and the striking peaks, which flare up in dramatic colors depending on the light. The village combines sporting energy with a relaxed Alpine lifestyle: in summer, kiters and windsurfers glide across the lake, hikers and trail runners seek the altitude, while in winter cross-country skiers, skiers and snowkiters glide across the wide expanses.

Despite its international fame, Silvaplana remains authentic and approachable, with established neighborhoods, an active village life and an open, sporty community. Its proximity to St. Moritz and at the same time its own, somewhat quieter character make the village an ideal place to live for many and a sought-after address for second and vacation homes. Silvaplana is not a place you just visit – it’s a place that stays.
