About Madulain
Madulain is the smallest municipality in the Upper Engadine, a village of a little over 200 people at about 1,684 metres on the Inn, between La Punt Chamues-ch and Zuoz. It is a tightly packed village built around a central square, with traditional Engadine houses; German is now the most common language and Romansh the second. On a hill to the west stand the ruins of Guardaval Castle, built around 1250 for the Bishop of Chur to collect tolls on the Albula Pass road. The homes sit close together in the village. Most sleep around four, a few take large groups, and some have a sauna or fireplace; check each listing.
