Soglio

Soglio is a municipality in the district of Maloja in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

Soglio lies on a ledge on the mountainside above the Val Bregaglia (the Bregaglia is known as Bergell in German), with views across to the Bondasca glacier and the peaks of the Sciora group, Piz Cengalo and Piz Badile. It is the commune of origin for the Salis family, one of the Grisons oligarch families. There are several Salis houses in the village; Casa Alta; Casa Battista; Casa di Mezzo; and Casa Antonio. The Casa Battista is now an hotel: Hotel Palazzo Salis, the others are tenements.
