Val Mustair: ErlebnisWandern Chantal Lörtscher
Val Müstair lies along the Rom, a long Alpine valley of wooded slopes, cultivated meadows and compact settlements between the Ofen Pass and the Italian border. In this Romansh-speaking part of Grisons, farming remains integral to the valley floor, while paths branch towards high pastures and side valleys. The Benedictine Convent of St John in Müstair is its major cultural landmark: the UNESCO World Heritage site preserves an exceptional ensemble of early medieval wall paintings. Val Müstair also forms part of UNESCO’s Engiadina Val Müstair Biosphere Reserve, which brings together inhabited farmland, forests and mountain terrain. Its villages provide a quieter base for walking and cross-border exploration than Switzerland’s larger resort centres.

Val Müstair occupies the upper Rom valley in eastern Grisons, close to Switzerland’s border with Italy. The river runs through a string of compact settlements between wooded slopes and high Alpine terrain; the road over the Ofen Pass leads west toward the Engadin. At Müstair, the Benedictine Convent of St John is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, noted for its exceptionally important Carolingian wall paintings. The valley forms part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Engiadina Val Müstair, which includes the Swiss National Park. Its Romansh heritage is audible in local place names and remains central to the area’s identity.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
