About Savognin
Savognin lies in a wide basin in the lower Surses valley in Graubünden, where Surmiran, a Romansh variety, is the official language. Highway 3 from Chur to the Engadin crosses the Julier Pass, a route travelled since at least Roman times. The painter Giovanni Segantini lived here from 1886 to 1894. Two ten-person gondolas run from the village via Tigignas to Somtgant, on slopes of Piz Martegnas and Val Nandro, in a ski area of 12 lifts. There are also 52.5 km of cross-country trails and four sledging runs. In summer and autumn the valley is walking and biking country, inside Parc Ela. Our homes sit in and around the village, mostly houses and flats for around five. Few have a pool, and some have a fireplace.
