Graubünden with St. Moritz Sights

The canton of Graubünden is bisected along an axis of 2,987-m (9,800-ft) peaks into two very different sections connected by the Julier, Albula, and Flüela passes. In the north is the region's capital, Chur. Farther east are the famous ski resorts of Klosters and Davos. The other half of the canton comprises the Engadine, home to mountain-ringed lakes and sophisticated resorts such as St. Moritz. From there the canton extends south toward Italy from the valleys of Bergell, Müstair, and Puschlav.

With Davos as the site of the first T-bar ski lift in history, St. Moritz as the world's ritziest resort, and a host of other justifiably famous winter wonderlands within its confines, Graubünden easily earns its reputation as the ultimate winter destination. You'll find downhill skiing (including telemarking) and snowboarding for all levels, as well as miles of Langlauf (cross-country skiing) trails prepared for both the classic and skating techniques.

While in the Engadine, keep an eye out for buildings with sgraffiti—a decorative etching technique in which a layer of dark gray stucco is first whitewashed and then scraped to create designs and sometimes sayings in the base color.
