Birthday in Engadin - Geburtstag im Engadin

This year was the second in a row where I got to spend my birthday with my family. I know… I know, that might sound a little weird… But you see, my birthday is on December 26th and usually we spend the day with tons of family celebrating Christmas. While I love seeing all my aunts, uncles and cousins, I always miss having this special time just for me. Due to the special circumstances we all know, we weren’t allowed to gather this year, so my parents had a special surprise planned for me:

We went on a 1.5 hour drive to Engadin, a valley in the very south east of Switzerland with tons of snow. There we enjoyed a few hours in the spa in Samedan, which was incredible. The bath expands over three floors and every room has a special color concept. You can find anything from steam baths, hot baths and outdoor baths to super cozy rest lounges. They even serve free tea, sirup (like uncarbonated soda) and water. One of the rest areas totally smells like Swiss pine and offers an amazing view on Samedan. The rooms were so cozy, that I even fell asleep!

After the spa we drove a few minutes to the St. Moritzersee, the lake by St. Moritz, and enjoyed the sunset and yummy Christmas cookies. The atmosphere at the lake was incredible and I really enjoyed my birthday!!
