Climb to a very old and well preserved authentic Swiss village on the flank of the Bregaglia valley where the Maloja pass passes (cycled July 2022).
You start with a long straight climb along the valley flank then some hairpin bends to end at a hotel and church on the sunny mountain terrace with parking and views of 3000 m. peaks. The short route flirts continuously with percentages above 10%. You can cycle on narrow stone-paved alleys into the car-free village up to a small spring at the historic Hotel Palazzo Salis (built 1630).
Italian successful impressionist painter Giovanni Segantini (1858-1890) described Soglio as
the threshold of paradise" !
I thought I could see this in the descent from the Maloja pass, but it was a very steep threshold, yet beautiful as a paradise!
Klim naar zeer oud goed bewaard gebleven authentiek Zwitsers dorpje op de flank van de Bregaglia vallei waar de Malojapas doorloopt (gefietst July 2022).
Je start met lang recht klimmend stuk langs de dal flank nadien overgaand in enkele haarspeldbochten om te eindigen aan een hotel en kerkje op het zonnig bergterras met parking en uitzicht op 3000 m. pieken . Korte route flirt continu met percentages boven de 10%. Je kan op smalle met stenen geplaveide steegjes stapvoets het autovrije dorpje in fietsen tot klein bronnetje aan het historisch hotel Palazzo Salis (gebouwd 1630).
Italiaans succesvol impressionistisch kunstschilder Giovanni Segantini (1858-1890) omschreef Soglio als
"de drempel van het paradijs" !
Dacht dit even mee te pikken in de afdaling van de Malojapas maar het was toch een zeer steile drempel,doch paradijselijk mooi!
