Lumnezia has served as a Romansh-speaking farming valley in Grisons since the Middle Ages. Spread across Val Lumnezia, the municipality gathers settlements on slopes above the Glogn, known in German as the Glenner, which flows north to the Vorderrhein at Ilanz. Vella is the administrative centre, while meadows, forests and Alpine pastures reflect a long tradition of livestock farming. The present municipality was formed in 2013 through the merger of several former communes, yet Sursilvan Romansh remains an important part of local identity. Val Lumnezia also belongs to the wider Surselva region, shaped by the Vorderrhein valley. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Lumnezia and Grisons.
