Since the wind blows almost every day, maneuvers such as tacking and jibing are quickly learned - and in just one week, course participants can pass the D-certificate exam.
You can also learn to sail on the beautiful Lake Silvaplana or Lake Sils. The sailing schools offer various courses or alternatively you can just book a cruise. Experiencing the sunset on a sailboat in the Engadin is an unforgettable experience.

On Lake St Moritz, the jetty is located on the northern shore of the lake between the St. Moritz train station and St. Moritz Bad. The clubhouse of the St. Moritz Sailing Club houses the restaurant Pier 34, where the cozy sun terrace invites not only skippers for an après-sail but anyone looking to eat, drink, and enjoy the views. In addition to courses on the water, the sailing club, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in the summer of 2021, also organizes various regattas every year. At Swiss, European, and even World Championships, the international elite of the sailing world regularly meet in the Engadin.
