Grisons, or Graubünden, is a vast and diverse region in eastern Switzerland known as 'Little Switzerland' for its varied landscapes and cultures. As the country's only trilingual canton, it preserves the Romansh language alongside German and Italian. Visitors are drawn to the dramatic peaks of the Alps, where world-renowned resorts like Davos and St. Moritz offer elite winter sports and summer hiking. The region is famously connected by the Rhaetian Railway, a narrow-gauge network that winds through remote valleys and over spectacular viaducts. From the historic streets of the capital, Chur, to the quiet beauty of its high-altitude valleys, Grisons offers a deep connection to both nature and history.
