History

The Engadin Valley in St. Moritz, nestled in the Swiss Alps, boasts a rich history that intertwines natural splendor, cultural evolution, and economic development. The valley, whose name derives from the Romansh phrase "Engiadina," meaning "Garden of the Inn," has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The River Inn, which runs through the valley, provided early settlers with fertile land and resources, forming the foundation for the region's enduring significance.

During the Roman era, the Engadin served as an important trade route, connecting the Italian peninsula to northern Europe via Alpine passes such as the Maloja and Julier. Evidence of Roman presence, including road remnants and artifacts, underscores the valley's strategic importance. The subsequent spread of Christianity introduced monasteries and churches, many of which still stand as architectural treasures.
