What belongs to Bregaglia?

The Bergell or Val Bregaglia, as it is known in Italian, is a region in the south-eastern part of Switzerland, in the canton of Graubünden. Surrounded by high mountains, the valley stretches from Maloja to Chiavenna in Italy. The best-known towns in Val Bregaglia include Maloja, Vicosoprano, Stampa and Soglio, picturesquely situated on a sunny terrace. Bregaglia is known for its spectacular scenery and numerous cultural and historical sights. Especially in spring, when the valley is free of snow again, it is a paradisiacal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Now you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery and the peace and seclusion of the region while hiking, biking or mountaineering.

Bregaglia Engadin in spring - a natural paradise for outdoor enthusiasts

In spring, Bregaglia Engadin awakens to new life. The mountains are still covered in snow, while the valley is already snow-free and the meadows and trees are slowly turning green. The river Maira rushes wildly and the clear air is filled with birdsong. Now you can breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy spectacular views on excursions into nature.

In Bregaglia Engadin you will find an extensive network of 260 km of officially marked hiking trails at altitudes ranging from 690 to over 3000 meters. Here you can observe the awakening of nature from high alpine regions to milder areas with a Mediterranean climate. Easy hiking trails follow the course of the valley and are ideal for families. More challenging tours lead into the side valleys, while ambitious hikers are drawn to the heights. Experienced guides are on hand everywhere if required. A classic is the hike on the Via Panoramica, a high-altitude trail on the sunny side of the valley with spectacular views. The cultural and themed hiking trails allow you to view Bregaglia Engadin from the perspective of the many artists who have been inspired by the region. These include the Castasegna chestnut trail, which is particularly inspiring in spring when the trees are in bloom and exude their sweet scent. Bregaglia Engadin is also worth a visit for mountain bikers and is an unforgettable adventure. MTB tours such as the Gir da Sot Porta circular route from Castasegna pose some challenges in terms of fitness, but reward you with unforgettable panoramas. Along the way, there is always the opportunity to take a break and stop off at a traditional mountain hut.
