Santa Maria Val Müstair

Highlight • Settlement

Santa Maria Val Müstair
The street village is located in the Münstertal at 1375 m above sea level at the exit of the Val Muraunza valley. The Muranzina, coming from the valley, flows through the village before it flows into the Rambach. Main road 28 runs through Santa Maria, which leads over the Ofenpass to Zernez in the Lower Engadine and to the state border at Taufers in the Münstertal. In the village, the Umbrailpass road branches off from the main road, which leads to Bormio in the Valtellina.
After Charlemagne escaped a terrible storm with divine help, according to legend he laid the foundation stone of the community in 801 by building a chapel.
The community of Santa Maria was first mentioned in documents in 1167/70 as Capellam sancte Maria in Silvaplana. This was a chapel. The village gradually grew up around the chapel.

Old water wheel in Santa Maria Val Müstair

Highlight • Monument

Unfortunately, Santa Maria has been a beautiful village plagued by through traffic for decades. A walk along the stream that flows down from the Umbrail Pass and then back up into the village is worth it. The fine game specialties in the modern butcher's shop and the fine nut tarts in the Meier bakery/confectionery are always part of my visit to Santa Maria, where Donna Leon lives, by the way. I can also only recommend a visit to the hand weaving mill.
