Now, for our listeners that aren't familiar with the region, could you tell us exactly whereabouts in Switzerland the Engadine region is?

So the Engadin is located in the southeastern part of Switzerland in the canton of Graubünden, and it's a high alpine valley situated at an elevation of around 1,700 meters above sea level.

And due to our closeness to Italy, the region also enjoys a southern charm and the Mediterranean influence.

And the Engadin also lies close to the borders to Italy and Austria.

It's amazing.

So can you share a few fun facts about the Engadin that our listeners may not know about?

Yes, so the Engadin is also home to the only 4,000 meters peak in the canton of Graubünden.

It's the Piz Bernina, which rises to 4,049 meters above sea level.

The other guest we're gonna have is Sonia Siavignat, who's an amazing human from the ETH, E-T-H, in Zurich, a professor for land climate dynamics.

And her research focuses on climate extremes and land climate interaction.
