Art, landscape, and a valley known from within.
Our January guide takes us to the Engadin Valley, through the perspective of Ladina Florineth, founder of Villa Flor in S-chanf. Set just beyond St. Moritz, Villa Flor has become a quiet anchor for artists, writers, and designers—its rhythms informed by art, landscape, and a deeply personal approach to hospitality.
Florineth’s Engadin moves between galleries and mountain paths, museums embedded in the terrain, long tables, winter crossings, and late nights. It is a view of the Alps grounded in culture rather than spectacle, where contemporary practice and everyday ritual unfold side by side.
