The way into the valley.
To Sils Maria by train and PostBus via St. Moritz, or by car to the car park in Sils. From there you continue without your own car, for Val Fex has been car-free since 1967.
The way into the valley
From the post office in Sils to the front door: a little over two kilometres, eighty metres of climb and another world.
Sils Maria, Posta
This is where the road ends. The car stays in the village; the house shuttle collects you at the bus stop.
Via da Fex
At the edge of the village the track into the valley begins. From here on only the shuttle and the horse carriages drive.
Through the larch forest
The track climbs through the forest. Below, the Fedacla has cut deep into the rock. On foot you take the upper gorge path.
The valley opens
The forest falls back. Ahead lie meadows, the stream and, at the end of the valley, the glaciers.
Platta · 1888 m
The house has stood here since 1585.
On the Siegfried map
This is the valley on the Siegfried map, the first accurate map of Switzerland. The houses of Platta are already marked.
Welcome to Fex.
Twenty-one rooms, a vegetarian kitchen and the quiet of a valley without cars.
