A high-alpine plateau at 1800 metres where the 'Maloja Snake' cloud formation slithers through larch forests and frozen lakes; the air here is famously dry; described as 'champagne climate' since the 19th century; ski the Diavolezza glacier at 10 am; the silence is so profound you can hear the ice contracting beneath the crystalline snow; the sky remains a deep; saturated navy even in mid-winter.
