ALPINE CHARM
The lakeside toytown village of Sils in the Swiss Engadine Valley offers winter walking along well-marked trails, horse-drawn carriage rides through forests blanketed by a duvet of snow, and langlauf, the cross-country alternative to downhill skiing. Nietzsche, who spent many months here, wrote, ‘All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.’ So always carry a pen and paper. From £1,295pp half-board with afternoon tea and cake, use of buses and trains in the valley, flights and transfers. Details: inntravel.co.uk
