Switzerland Mountainview near the Maloja Pass

Just a short distance from the Malojapass, you’ll find some of the most breathtaking forest and mountain landscapes in the Engadin region. This area is perfect for capturing the alpine wilderness without the distractions of roads or buildings. As the sun sets, the light filters through the dense forests and bathes the towering peaks in warm, golden tones – a truly magical scene.

Choose a vantage point that overlooks the treetops to capture the full depth of the landscape. Use a tripod and a longer focal length to compress the layers of the forest and mountains. Sunset or early evening light provides the best colors and long, dramatic shadows.

This area is accessible by car, with several small parking areas along the winding mountain roads. Be prepared for cooler temperatures as the sun sets, and keep an eye out for wildlife like deer and mountain goats.
