Lavin is a charming village known for its Italianate architecture and typical Engadine houses. It was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1869. Its strategic location along the Inn River makes it an ideal starting point for numerous hikes and for accessing the Swiss National Park.

Lavin
Lavin (1,412 m above sea level) lies on a gravel terrace about 40 m above the left bank of the Inn River at the mouth of the Val Lavinuoz, which is drained by the Lavinuoz, at the southeastern foot of Piz Linard (3,411 m).
The village of 213 inhabitants impresses with its rich cultural offerings and extremely innovative residents. Its reconstruction after the great fire of 1869 has given the Engadin village Italian characteristics – also in the form of joie de vivre and cosmopolitanism. This is Lavin: Italianità Engiadinaisa.
We disembark the train and walk towards the cheese dairy and bakery to the spacious village square. Striking mountains and dancing swallows in the deep blue sky are reflected in the windows of the palazzo-like houses, and we think of a piazza in old Milan. A mountain biker rings the bell and waves us to the hotel terrace. Tired and excited after a long day on the "Lais da Macun" National Park hike, we join a convivial group of artisans, farmers, guests, and hosts.
