Kanton Graubünden's Unmissable Treasures

Graubünden features a dense concentration of medieval fortifications, including the preserved Ehrenfels and Baldenstein castles in the Domleschg valley. The region’s religious history is reflected in late-Gothic architecture like San Plasch in Tschlin and the protected church of Santa Maria Val Müstair. High-altitude highlights include the White War’s First World War artillery positions near the Italian border, several Swiss Alpine Club huts such as Chamanna d'Es-cha, and the dramatic Cascada da Pisch waterfall.
