When you are in Engadin it is worth to come for a visit to Giovanni Segantinis hut, where the painter resided and created many of his fabulous art pieces. The great painter Giovanni Segantini retired to the Schafberg Hut above Pontresina in September 1899 to complete his triptych of nature for the forthcoming World Exhibition in Paris. On 28 September 1899 the artist died unexpectedly in the Segantini Hut of peritonitis. The Alpine triptych "Becoming" "Being" and "Passing away" can be admired in the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz.

The hut can be reached from Muottas Muragl station or from the Languard chairlift. Both hikes are moderate and absolutely panoramic.

At the hut you can simply enjoy the view and get some local delicacies

From Muottas Muragl: 3.4km, 1:25h, 389m ascent, 112m descent From Languard Chairlift: 4.5k, 2h, 495m ascent; 94 descent
