Kulturhotel Corona
Since 2022, Hotel Corona has organized cultural trips to the Bregaglia Valley several times a year in collaboration with the NZZ. Guests can take part in professional writing and photography courses, enjoy jazz-related experiences, and attend lectures about the Giacometti family of painters, in close partnership with the Giacometti Center.
In the restaurant, where Giovanni Segantini and Alberto Giacometti used to dine, even other hotel guests can enjoy the special atmosphere. Even today, with a bit of luck, you might still encounter a descendant of the two artist families there.

Panaläda
A new painting school in Bregaglia
In his former family home in Vicosoprano, artist Romano Giovanoli has opened his own painting school and offers courses. This has been made possible thanks to the support of Andrea and Christian Brändle, who kindly made the property available. The spacious rooms offer plenty of room for young and old alike: anyone who loves colours and shapes, different materials and creative design is in the right place.

Gallery Palazzo Salis
Toni Weishaupt
Before settling in Soglio, he visited the mountain cantons of Switzerland, living in each one for eight months. Living there allowed him to get to know the local people and to intensively experience his favourite subjects: mountains, landscapes, flowers, everyday scenes linked to tradition.
With his exhibition, now Tony Weishaupt has found his home in Soglio. At Palazzo Salis, the works merge in a unique symbiosis with the traditional building and the oil paintings. Discover the new gallery through the eyes of the painter.
Location
Palazzo Salis barn in Soglio (left towards the garden)
Opening hours
All year round, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., if necessary contact (in German) the artist on WhatsApp (+41 79 563 02 61)

Museum Ciäsa Granda
The Valley Museum
The Ciäsa Granda (‘big house’), now an ethnographic museum, belongs to the Museo Ciäsa Granda e Atelier Giacometti Foundation since 2023. In 1952, the assembly of the then Società Culturale association decided to purchase the house to convert it into a cultural centre. The museum features realistic dioramas, reconstructions of workshops for various crafts and valuable documentation of domestic life in the valley. Visitors are given a vivid insight into the social, cultural and natural history of the Bregaglia Valley and can also learn about its customs. During the summer months, the Ciäsa Granda hosts special exhibitions.
In addition to the special atmosphere of the imposing 16th-century patrician house, the museum also displays high-quality fine art. The collection of artworks by artists from the Bregaglia Valley, Giovanni, Augusto, Alberto and Diego Giacometti, as well as Varlin, who moved to Bondo, is modest in size but reflects the artists' close connection to the valley, particularly in terms of subject matter. The studio of Giovanni and Alberto Giacometti is run by the museum.
Opening hours
From 31 May to 19 October 2025, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays.
From 15 July to 31 August 2025, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays.

These are stories of those who have found a way to move forward in the valley, some creatively, others entrepreneurially. These are stories of those who sought their fortune in the rest of the world and of those who arrived in the valley and built their future.
