In autumn, families can also enjoy the fun and action here and dogs are also allowed, subject to certain rules. Special times are available for family golfing fun and golfing with dogs.
The Engadin has always scored highly when it comes to golf, as the sport has a long tradition here. This is based on the opening of the oldest golf course in Switzerland in Samedan in 1893. However, its neighbour in Zuoz-Madulain is in no way inferior. In the Engadin, you also have the chance to play your longest ball yet. Thanks to the thin air, nowhere else do the balls fly as far as here. Try it out for yourself.

Young and old explorers alike will get their money's worth on this nature trail. There are 34 different trees, shrubs and many plant species to explore, each marked with wooden posts and small green nameplates. But that's not all!

Of these, 9 represent native wild animal species. The nature trail runs for 2.3 kilometres along forest paths, footpaths and meadow sections. It is mostly flat, but not suitable for pushchairs. Along the way, you will find a picnic area with a fire pit and a fountain in an enchanting forest clearing.
The forest nature trail is accessible in spring, summer and autumn.
Contemporary art arrived in Madulain in 2014 with the opening of the Stalla Madulain art gallery. The old barn, which dates back to 1488 and was discovered by the two cousins Gian Tumasch Appenzeller and Chasper Schmidlin, stands in the centre of the village. Chasper, who is an architect, has slightly restored it while retaining the original structure. On display and for sale is art by local artists or those who were inspired in the rooms or during a stay in the Engadin.
The Stalla includes the Stalletta - a small stable 50 steps away from the Stalla Madulain. It functions as an additional exhibition space.
