Soglio
A stone village on a slope of the Bregaglia Valley, facing the granite Sciora peaks. Painter Segantini called it 'the threshold of paradise'.
Soglio is in the Italian-speaking region. Its stone roofs and narrow lanes are well preserved. The Salis family palace is now a hotel, and its garden is open to diners. From the village you look straight at jagged granite peaks such as Sciora and Badile. From St. Moritz, take a bus via Maloja to Promontogno and change to a minibus up the hill; the one-way trip takes about 1.5 hours. You can also hike the old Via Panoramica trail from Casaccia to Soglio (about 4-5 hours). In autumn the chestnut groves turn gold, and there is a chestnut festival.
