History
Written records first document Walser settlers in the region during the 14th century, when they were already managing alpine pastures in the area. This early settlement established the foundation for the permanent communities that exist today.

The municipality sits at high elevation and is most accessible during winter months when Malbun operates as a ski resort. In other seasons, the region offers hiking opportunities, though road and path conditions can vary with weather.
