Surses

Surses has served as a high-Alpine transit valley in Grisons since Roman times. The municipality, created in 2016 from nine former communes, brings together settlements including Savognin, Bivio and Mulegns in the Oberhalbstein valley. The Julia, known locally as the Gelgia, runs through the valley before joining the Albula farther north. Routes over the Julier Pass towards the Engadin and the historic Septimer Pass have long made this an important crossing country. Romansh remains part of local identity: Surmiran, one of the language’s regional varieties, is rooted here alongside German and Italian influences.
