Zuoz

Built around the old transit route through the Upper Engadin, Zuoz grew into one of the valley’s best-preserved historic villages. It stands on a terrace above the River Inn in Grisons, surrounded by the broad, high-altitude landscape of the Engadin. The compact centre is marked by imposing Engadin houses, many decorated with sgraffito, a traditional scratched-plaster ornament. Chesa Planta, a patrician house built in 1595, reflects the prosperity that trade and regional influence brought to the community; today it is associated with Romansh language and culture.
