Maloja Kulm rises at the foot of Mount Maloja, the peak from which it takes its name, just like the nearby village that shares it. Standing proudly at 1,800 meters of altitude, the village towers over the landscapes of the Bregaglia Valley.
A paradise between lakes and mountains, offering breathtaking views in every season: in summer, the sun lights up the Bregaglia vegetation, turning the valley into an ideal refuge during the hottest months; in winter, it gives way to snow, covering the mountains in brilliant white and bringing back the magic of Alpine tradition.
This enchanting landscape has captivated famous artists and writers over the years, earning Bregaglia the nickname “the valley of art”.
Maloja deeply inspired the painter Giovanni Segantini, who spent the last part of his life here and made these places the setting for his most celebrated works. Several landmarks in Maloja are dedicated to him: Casa Segantini, Segantini’s Atelier, the White Church, the Segantini Trail, and the cemetery where he now rests with his family.
