Segantini’s Mountain Panorama

Along the route from Muottas Muragl to the Segantini Hut, hikers are treated to breathtaking views while following in the footsteps of the painter Giovanni Segantini. In 1899, he retreated to the Schafberg Hut above Pontresina to complete his Alpine Triptych for the upcoming World Exhibition in Paris. Tragically, Segantini died unexpectedly of peritonitis in the hut. His Alpine Triptych—“Becoming,” “Being,” and “Passing”—can be admired today in the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz.

Segantini’s last words are said to have been: “Voglio vedere le mie montagne.” From the Segantini Hut, these beloved mountains and the Upper Engadin lake landscape can indeed be admired. It is a nature experience with a scenic descent to Alp Languard and a return to Pontresina.
For those who prefer a less demanding route, the Panorama Trail offers an equally appealing option. The journey begins with a ride on the Muottas Muragl funicular, followed by a walk along the Panorama Trail. About halfway along the route, the Restaurant Unterer Schafberg invites visitors to take a well-deserved break. The path then continues to Alp Languard, where there is the option to take a chairlift back down to Pontresina.
