Segantini trail

Symbolic realism in Maloja

In 1894, Giovanni Segantini chose to settle down in Maloja. The famous pointillist painter, lover of alpine landscapes, found inspiration in the enchanting scenery and special light of this quiet mountain village.

A hundred years after his arrival in Maloja, the Segantini Trail was created. It was designed by Basel photographers Labahrd and Galli. The trail takes you on a wonderful 2-hour hike, which includes 14 stages. At each stage, there is an interpretive panel illustrating Segantini's life and works.

Starting at the atelier, you visit the special places that inspired Segantini, places where he painted several well-known paintings of majestic rocky landscapes. The tour ends with a visit to the small cemetery, where the visitor can pay respects at the family tomb.

Starting point: Atelier Segantini
