Savognin

Savognin has served as a settlement on the Julier Pass route in Grisons since the Middle Ages. It lies in the broad Surses valley beside the Julia River, on a historic Alpine corridor connecting central Graubünden with the Engadin. Romansh remains an important part of local identity here, alongside German, and the village is known by its Romansh name, Savognin. Painter Giovanni Segantini lived and worked in Savognin between 1886 and 1894, drawing inspiration from the high-mountain surroundings. Today, hiking routes, ski slopes and the nearby Julier Pass keep the valley closely tied to its Alpine setting. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Savognin and Grisons.
