'''Engadin''' is an extremely beautiful valley in south eastern [[Switzerland]].
The main and most of famous city is [[St. Moritz]] a posh holiday place for rich people; though the beauty of the mountains the silence and the fresh air shouldn't discourage a hitchhiker to try his/her luck there.
==Hitchin in and out==
The main accesses are from Chur (Julierpass from Vaz or Thuses, motorway to [[Lugano]]) or Davos from North and from Val Bregaglia and Chiavenna [[Italy]] from south (Malojapass). Rather you may think that is a posh place where nobody will pick you up, there are lots of nice locals and workers who pass by these roads and you won't have big difficulties finding a lift even though the spots are not very perfect (often no space for cars to pull over).
Especially during the weekend you can find quite long distances lifts, e.g to [[Lecco]] or [[Milano]]
== Accommodation and Sleep ==
In summer you can find wild camping spots everywhere outside of the towns, as any other mountain place. Though in winter Engadin can be really cold with an average of -15, -20° C. The air is really dry so you don't feel it very strong but still is -20..If you don't have a proper gear, ask some farmer to sleep in their barns or search some house undercostruction (in Sils-Maria December 2013 there was one open and heated right in the centre..) where you can hide and not freeze.
