Landscape
In the immediate surroundings of Silvaplana are Crap Alv, Munt San Gian, Piz Surlej and Chastelets.
Silvaplana lies on Lake Silvaplana in the Upper Engadine at an altitude of 1,815 metres. The lake is the middle one of the three Upper Engadine lakes and lies between Lake St. Moritz and Lake Sils.
Silvaplana is situated in the lake landscape of the Upper Engadine and is surrounded by peaks over 3,000 metres high.
Getting There
Silvaplana lies at the intersection of the Inn and Julier Pass; the northern approach is described as accessible.
Culture
A boulder by the lake near the village of Surlej is associated with Friedrich Nietzsche's reported conception of the idea of eternal recurrence in August 1881. For travellers interested in cultural connections, this association is an aspect of Silvaplana in its own right.
