Discover Soglio
Soglio appears in the records in 1186 and owes its importance to the Salis family, who arrived in the thirteenth century as officials of the bishop. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the family built its palazzi here, from the Casa di Mezzo of 1696 to the Casa Antonio of 1763–66. The village, fewer than 200 inhabitants at an altitude of about 1,090 metres, has been part of the municipality of Bregaglia since 2010.
Soglio stands apart from the old transit route on the valley floor: until about 1875 it was reached by a mule track, then the carriage road arrived. In 1552 the village went over to the Reformation. In 2015 it was the first to be voted "most beautiful village in Switzerland", and in the same year Bregaglia received the Wakker Prize from the Swiss Heritage Society. Soglio is the end of the second of the three stages of the Via Bregaglia, the trail that runs down from Maloja to Chiavenna.
Between Soglio and Castasegna grows one of the largest cultivated chestnut groves in Europe: about 1,200 trees on 50 hectares, with the drying huts scattered through the wood. The harvest is celebrated with the Chestnut Festival, usually between late September and October: the programme includes visits to the huts where the chestnuts are dried. See Chiavenna, the other Valchiavenna webcams, the Maloja and the Engadin or the map.
