After a rigorous game of tennis, there is nothing like a spot of tea from an enchanting perch in the Engadine. The refined and relaxed couple enjoys the view of the Upper Engadine lakes (Lake St. Moritz, Lake Champèr and Lake Silvaplana). The Piz de la Margna mountain rises majestically in the background, drawing the viewer's eye past our foreground guests, into the dramatic landscape that awaits them.
