On the sunny plateau above the Bregaglia Gorge: Soglio
This sun-drenched village lies high above the romantic Bregaglia gorge in the Engadin Valley, south-west of the famous ski resort St. Moritz. Tucked in just behind the Italian border and the beautiful Lake Como, the mountain village thrives on the contrast between Mediterranean vegetation and Alpine views of the Bernina massif. The town itself remains spared from mass tourism, offering a unique mixture of grand palazzis and traditional mountain farmyards. The large selection of hiking trails in the immediate vicinity is a mecca for hikers and the area is a paradise for mountain climbers.
