What to do and see in Canton of Graubunden, Swiss Alps: The Best Hiking Trails

August 5, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

Quaint alpine villages and great skiing entice travelers to the Grisons. The sparsely populated region of eastern Switzerland contains the source of the Rhine and Inn rivers, 140 square miles of glaciers and dense pine forests. Join the ski action at the resorts of St. Moritz, Davos and Arosa or stake a lofty claim with a visit to Juf, which boasts the highest altitude of any inhabited village in the Alps. In summer, take a hike through the Engadine Valley in the unspoiled beauty of Swiss National Park.

Marmot Nature Trail

Reviewed By NicoleDSKrieger

We saw 57 marmottes, they were everywhere! We built cairns out of stones by the river. The kids were absolutely delighted. We ate a cake in the little restaurant at the end of the trail. There was a little play area my 5-year-old loved.

Val Fex

Reviewed By lbes - Ohio, United States

We first discovered this valley on a hike from Muottas Muragl on the “gastronomic trail” and fell in love with this picturesque valley with views of glacier covered peaks, cattle, llamas, goats and sheep and the sounds of cowbells and mountain streams. The first time we walked on the marked Trails on either side of the valley. The second time we decided just to walk along the road to be in the floor of the valley which by the way is quite a bit shorter than the trails up on the side of the mountains. The trail to the Val Fex runs right by our hotel in the entire trail was absolutely beautiful.

Schlittelbahn Preda Bergun

Reviewed By SnowyandSniggles

We discovered the activity of "tobogganing" or going down a mountain on a sculpted, maintained track in 2001-and have been pursuing sledding nirvana ever since! Preda-Bergun-Darlix is absolutely the bomb! You take the train to Preda and sled down the wide, gently curving 6km run to Bergun, then at the end, hop on the chairlift for the steep, exciting 4 km track from Darlix! Repeat as often as desired! Don't forget to eat lunch at the mountain restaurant at the top of the chairlift! Views are incredible! After your final run, stop in Bergun at one of the little self-service cheese and sausage stands to buy some genuine alp cheese to eat on the way home, or the stand with hot drinks, or even the ice bar! The railway museum across from the train station makes s nice little detour if you have to wait for your connection back to your home base. Absolutely worth a special trip fora perfect day!
