Muottas Muragl: sunset photography forecast
This is probably the easiest high-mountain sunset in Switzerland. The funicular runs until late in the evening, so you can stay for the light and still ride down. From roughly 2,450 m the Upper Engadin lakes chain away below you toward St. Moritz, with the Bernina range closing the far side.

Best months
Whenever the funicular is running. Late autumn and winter give the cleanest air and snow on the peaks.
Suggested focal lengths
70–200 mm suits the natural layering; 24–70 mm for the full sweep of the lakes
Composition
The lakes are the composition. Use them as a receding line and place the horizon high enough to keep them in the frame.
Recommended arrival
45 minutes before sunset. The restaurant means you can arrive early without suffering.
