Famed for its intense natural beauty, S Chanf, a village at 1660 metres in the municipality of the same name, can be found in the Maloja region of Switzerland. This is a great place for those who want to go hiking through the surrounding mountains, as it is the western gateway to the Swiss National Park where hikers can see wildlife such as marmots, deer, chamois and even ibex. Many excellent S Chanf hotels offer stunning mountain views from their balconies and large picture windows. The hotel staff here are friendly and often offer to arrange additional services such as guided tours and packed lunches. Those interested in architecture can see many examples of traditional Engadine buildings in the village itself, while in several other villages in the municipality are examples of old churches and a hospice dating back to 1250, now used as a centre for young people.
