Winter
Take a paraglider taxi through the air wearing skis,
join high altitude ski tours that bring you closer to the heavens. Float
quietly across snowed-in valleys in a hot-air balloon, discovering the
many faces of nature in the different kinds of countryside.

Have a
professional take you down the St. Moritz Olympic bobsled run. Toboggan
from Preda to Bergün or brave a glacier downhill run on the Diavolez...
Who doesn't dream of adventures such as these? Whether skiing,
snowboarding, cross-country skiing or taking a ride on a horse-drawn
sleigh, everything is possible in Graubünden's winter sports areas with
their guaranteed favourable snow conditions. Would you like to enjoy a
gourmet treat away from the crowds? Learn about the rich culture of
Switzerland's holiday corner and its capital of Chur or relax in a
traditional spa? Try Telemark skiing, parabol skiing or snow golf -
putting a red ball on a white 'green'? In Graubünden, it's yours for the
asking. We promise to take excellent care of you and our most precious
resource - the environment.

Summer
Alpine valleys descending from high mountains. Rivers in every conceivable direction. German, Romansh and Italian in a single canton.
Graubünden has every colour: Red for the Rhätische Bahn railway, yellow for the postal buses, blue for its 615 lakes and the skies above 150 valleys, green for forests and pastures, golden brown for larch trees in autumn, grey for castles and rocks, and white for snow and ice.
Choose red to take the Rhätische Bahn to Klosters, Davos, Arosa, St. Moritz, the Surselva region, the Engadine and Valposchiavo. Choose yellow and see Savognin and the Müstair valley, Lenzerheide, and the Mesolcina and Bregaglia valleys by postal bus. Pick grey for climbing a sheer rock face, and white for storming peaks and traversing glaciers. Or simply sit down on a patch of green and enjoy azure skies above.
