This tiny town, about a 25-minute drive from St. Moritz, is one of the Engadin Valley's loveliest, with beautifully restored, painted buildings and cobblestone streets. Art and architecture lovers will love the town's three small but excellent contemporary art galleries, all housed in restored historic buildings:
- Galerie Tschudi: housed in a medieval building right on the town square
- Monica de Cardenas: Housed in Chesa Albertini, a farm-house that dates to the 15th century
- Galerie Pace: A series of temporary exhibitions in Chesa Büsin, a renovated 12th-century building
After a visit, pick up a sweet pastry and have a coffee at
Klarer, also on the town square. Or drive to the
Castell, a hotel that sits high above the village and whose owners also have an impressive contemporary art collection. The chic
Rote Bar is a great spot for a drink. Afterwards, don't miss visiting
Skyspace, Piz Utèr, a site-specific installation by James Turrell. For lunch or dinner, head to
Dorta, a traditional restaurant located in a beautifully restored farm house.
