Disentis

Disentis combines a centuries-old monastic presence with the energetic rhythm of an Alpine transport corridor in a way that reflects its position in the Surselva region of Grisons. The settlement lies in the upper valley of the Vorderrhein, one of the Rhine’s headwaters, amid mountain routes leading towards the Oberalp Pass. Disentis Abbey, a Benedictine foundation with origins in the early Middle Ages, remains the town’s defining landmark and a major centre of Romansh cultural life. The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn also makes Disentis an important rail junction in the central Swiss Alps.
