Avers

Tucked into the high Avers Valley of the Grisons Alps, Avers is a place whose character is shaped by altitude, a short growing season and long winters. The Averser Rhine runs through this remote side valley before joining the Hinterrhein. Medieval Walser settlement left a lasting cultural imprint, reflected in the scattered hamlets and alpine farming traditions. At the valley’s upper end, Juf stands at 2,126 metres and ranks among Europe’s highest permanently inhabited settlements. Summer brings hiking routes across pastures and mountain passes, while winter underscores the valley’s isolation.
