The 50 most beautiful places in Graubünden

Originally built by the Walser people, the hamlet of Obermutten enjoys an enchanting location on a sunny saddle overlooking the Albulatal valley. The well-preserved settlement of timber buildings, which includes a rare example of a wooden church, perfectly illustrates the preference of its founders for isolated, elevated locations.

Kurhaus Tarasp was one of the Engadine's first grand hotels. In the nineteenth century, the spa guests included kings and tsars. The mineral-rich springs and drinking cures were world-famous. The intact ensemble complete with spa park is a delight.

The village of Castasegna in Bregaglia lies on the border with Italy. It is located almost on the valley floor, a little way above the Maira river, amid an unspoilt natural landscape. The village is surrounded by sweet chestnut forest on both sides of the valley.

The winegrowing village and former marketplace of Malans is located in the Bündner Herrschaft area, the only continuous winegrowing region in the canton of Graubünden.

The picturesque Lower Engadin village of Sent enjoys a sunny location with wonderful views high above the valley floor, amid broad expanses of agricultural land and forest. The village currently has about 900 inhabitants and is a Rhaeto-Romanic stronghold.

The village of Soazza in the canton of Graubünden is situated on a sloped terrace amid steep, densely forested, craggy mountain slopes in the Italian-speaking Valle Mesolcina, a north-south oriented valley between Bellinzona and the San Bernardino Pass.
