Where Nothing
Ends Up Being Everything
Hof Zuort, Val Sinestra — Lower Engadine
You set off, step by step, snow-covered mountains everywhere you look. The deeper you go into the valley, the more the snow crunches underfoot, and the further you walk, the further you leave civilization behind. You let the atmosphere take hold of you, take in the mountains around you, and savour every single step.
After an hour, an old building comes into view. It looks like a farmhouse. You're glad to step inside — into the warmth. And the moment you enter, you feel it immediately: this place is something truly special. The rooms look like they're from another century, yet they glow with a modern warmth. You can smell the wood that has stood here for centuries — it creaks under every step, as if it wanted to tell you stories of all the winters it has already lived through.
