“Chesa” means house and in Romanic it is a typical name for a venerable, old Engadine house. These houses were mostly built as farmhouses with living quarters. Today this converted Engadine house constitutes the main building of the Chesa Pool. Where farmers used to store their hay and women smoked meat in the “Chamineda” and where everyone lent a hand in clearing the metres of snow by hand in this place of power, Platta. There you too can indulge yourselves, drawing on the power and surrendering to the adventurous exploration of this unique landscape.
