The plan for the day was to travel from Innsbruck to Italy and then back to Switzerland, ending the day at St. Moritz. For that, we were hoping for some clear weather. It had snowed a bit during the night, and the clouds were still hovering all around us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Journey So Far:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-plan-a-trip-to-switzerland-from-india\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Switzerland from India<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/munich-to-innsbruck-day-trip\/\">Munich to Innsbruck &#8211; Day 1<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only silver lining was that towards Innsbruck the clouds were parting a bit to let the sun in. That was a good sign at least, things could still turn for the better. The snowfall had made the views outside magical. Green peered through the shallow whites to make a bit of a yellow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sun trying to break through the clouds looked as if it had set it on fire. And the black clouds looked monstrous. The temperature was hovering around the 2-degree mark and thus we could not stay outside for long.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Quick Navigation<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d5d18d3e083\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d5d18d3e083\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#Innsbruck_to_Italy_to_Switzerland_Road_Trip\" >Innsbruck to Italy to Switzerland Road Trip<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#Schloss_Ambras\" >Schloss Ambras<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#%E2%80%8BZisterzienstift\" >\u200bZisterzienstift<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#Landeck\" >Landeck<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#Reschen_Pass\" >Reschen Pass<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#Resia\" >Resia<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#%E2%80%8BMustair\" >\u200bMustair<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#Ofen_Pass\" >Ofen Pass<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#%E2%80%8BEngadine_Valley\" >\u200bEngadine Valley<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/innsbruck-to-italy-to-switzerland-road-trip\/#%E2%80%8BSt_Moritz_Maloja\" >\u200bSt. Moritz &amp; Maloja<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Innsbruck_to_Italy_to_Switzerland_Road_Trip\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Innsbruck to Italy to Switzerland Road Trip<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We got ready and true to their promise, the hosts had the breakfast ready by 7:30 am.

The castle is touted to be the \u201ccity\u2019s biggest stunner\u201d by the Lonely planet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not a stunner by any stretch of the imagination when you have a look at it from the outside. Although the gardens around it are actually quite well maintained and picturesque. The real fun begins, I guess, when one goes inside the castle and has some knowledge and interest about its history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being poor students of history and especially poor at European history, both of us decided to give the interiors a miss and strolled around the garden for a while. Although I will recommend a visit to the gift shop located within the castle premises. They had some exquisite but expensive collections of souvenirs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through the multi-colored buildings at downtown Innsbruck<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-10.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35348 size-full\" title=\"downtown Innsbruck\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-10.jpg\" alt=\"downtown Innsbruck\" width=\"1000\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-10.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-10-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-10-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-10-585x347.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Schloss Ambras<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-11.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35349 size-full\" title=\"Schloss Ambras\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-11.jpg\" alt=\"Schloss Ambras\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-11-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-11-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-11-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The gardens of the castle are very well maintained and beautiful<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-12.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35350 size-full\" title=\"Schloss Ambras\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-12.jpg\" alt=\"Schloss Ambras\" width=\"1000\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-12-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-12-768x353.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/innsbruck-to-st-moritz-12-585x269.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A little above the castle one gets a view of agricultural fields above Innsbruck.

The Lonely Planet mentioned a medieval castle located at the top of Landeck which was worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maybe it was worthwhile for others, we did not find anything too exciting about it.

The road follows quickly through several broad serpentines through a small coniferous forest. The valley in this section was very wide and there are nearly unlimited views down towards the valley of Mustair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After crossing the pass, it continues through mostly uninhabited regions and wilderness of the National Park of Switzerland. We did pass the tunnel which led towards the Valley of Livigno. We could take a convoluted route through the tunnel, across the Foscagno pass &#8211; towards Bormio and eventually take the Bernina to reach the valley of Sankt Moritz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But doing this would have meant (a) paying that heft toll through the tunnel (44CHF) and (b) consuming a lot of time which we did not have. The cheaper fuel and groceries would not have negated the high toll on the tunnel route &#8211; thus implying little financial sense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So with a heavy heart, we have Livigno a miss and continued towards Zernez, the first village we would hit in the Upper Engadine valley.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Climbing towards Ofen Pass.

The country\u2019s original winter wonderland and the cradle of Alpine tourism, St Moritz has been luring royals, celebrities for a very long time. There are millions of big-name designer boutiques in downtown Sankt Moritz catering to celebs and the rich alike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, all that had to wait till we crossed a pretty wide valley. Parking was free at St. Moritz and we used it to our delight, to stroll around the town for a bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are little pleasures in roaming about such an exclusive tourist town for free and then eventually heading towards Maloja, its poorer cousin village to spend the night in. The sight of the mountains and the frozen lake next to the town was something else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The drive was stunningly beautiful between St. Moritz and Maolja which cross through the lake Silvaplana and a quaint village by the name of Sils-Maria. The temperature had dropped to near about freezing point. We reached our hotel, Chesa Alpine at Maloja by about 6:00 pm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The owner did not speak any English but we could communicate with each other using broken German. They do not speak French, German or Italian in this part of Switzerland, but a unique mixture of all by the name of Romansch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The room was small and devoid of an attached bathroom. One has to cut corners in such an expensive part of Switzerland. However, it was just for the night and will suit us fine.
