Chesa Grischa — Restaurant in Sils im Engadin/Segl

We stayed in this hotel for just under one week for the purpose of cross-country skiing in the wider area. The staff at the hotel prior to our arrival were very helpful in agreeing to a later check-in due to us arriving by train in the evening. Upon arrival the welcome was warm from the staff and check-in progressed smoothly. We had a standard double room which had a view to the side of the hotel. A quiet side road was overlooked, but in the distance could clearly be viewed beautiful mountains. The room was compact, but in very good repair and was also very clean. The bathroom presented well and appeared to have been recently re-fitted. The room was consistently warm, with good control of the radiators possible.||||We ate in the restaurant and this served good food, although as with everything in Switzerland, the price was comparatively high.||||The hotel is virtually ski-in/ ski-out from a cross-country standpoint, with a trail starting almost directly at the front of the hotel, which in turn links to a particularly extensive network. Ski storage was decent, with a well-appointed room in the basement for boots and changing, including heated boot racks. However, skis and poles are stored in a separate building adjacent to the hotel. This arrangement is functional, but perhaps a little unusual and the steps down to the ski and pole storage room can be very slippery, meaning that significant care if required.||||The hotel has a small but perfectly formed spa area, which includes a sauna, one-person plunge pool and showers, as well as a relaxation room. The spa area is clearly of its time, but is in good repair and with a pleasant tile and wood interior is timeless in its style.||||This hotel represented a pleasant contrast to St. Moritz, which despite being a destination for those who are exceptionally wealthy, contained little of interest to us. The exception was the fact that some cross-country trails run right through the centre, which was an interesting experience, while the city swimming pool is exceptionally good.||||I would certainly stay at this hotel again and would recommend the village of Sils Maria, where the...

Sils est un bien bel endroit. Malheureusement y loger se révèle très coûteux pour des Français.A Sils Balsegia, contigu à Sils Maria, l'hôtel Chesa Grischa offre cependant une alternative intéressante au rapport qualité-prix plutôt correct. C'est une grande maison engadinoise, manifestement agrandie à diverses reprises, à la chaude décoration intérieure. Les chambres sont de diverses catégories. Nous avions une chambre dite "supérieure" qui était vaste, disposait d'une grance armoire, d'un bureau et d'un petit salon (canapé et table basse) à une extrémité. La salle de bain par contre était assez petite (douche uniquement). Il y avait aussi, bien sûr, une télévision diffusant une quarantaine de chaînes, dont quelques-unes en français, italien ou anglais. L'isolation était parfaite malgré la proximité de la route allant de Maloja à Saint Moritz; le silence était total. La literie était bonne et le chauffage fonctionnait juste comme il fallait le matin (il ne faisait pas très chaud en début de journée) à la fois dans la chambre même et dans la salle de bain. Le petit déjeuner, un buffet varié et copieux, est servi dans un beau salon agréablement ensoleillé. L'hôtel fait aussi restaurant. La carte offre plusieurs spécialités des Grisons ou de la Valteline voisine ainsi que des plats plus classiques (divers types de rösti notamment) et de la venaison. Les prix sont dans la moyenne des restaurants de la région, c'est-à-dire plutôt élevés pour qui vient de la zone euro (mais il y a, semble-t-il, un tarif demi-pension). Le service est très aimable et assez rapide. ||Finalement si l'on songe que l'hôtel dispose aussi d'un parking gratuit pour ses hôtes, chose rare à Sils, et que les autobus desservant la Haute Engadine s'arrêtent devant sa porte (Sils San Lurench) pour conduire à des randonnées plus lointaines, on ne trouve pas grand-chose à redire. On pourrait d'une part souhaiter que la décoration de la salle de bain soit moins vieillotte, d'un design ne rappelant pas ce que l'on voyait il y a un quart de siècle (même si tout fonctionne parfaitement). Surtout il serait souhaitable que toutes les chambres puissent disposer du wifi. Il nous a fallu descendre dans l'un des salons du rez-de-chaussée. Aujourd'hui c'est une gêne que l'on...
