Bivio: Bivio Sportanlagen AG
The Julier Pass defines the setting of Bivio — the settlement occupies a high basin on this historic route between the Surses valley and the Engadin, while broad alpine slopes shape its compact form. In Graubünden’s multilingual interior, Bivio has long been tied to travel across the pass, which was already used in Roman times. Today Bivio Sportanlagen AG operates the local mountain-lift and ski infrastructure, making the village a base for downhill skiing and other mountain activity. The pass road and open terrain give Bivio a distinctly high-alpine character, combining a small resort settlement with an important route through the canton.

Bivio lies along the upper Julia River below Julier Pass in the Surses valley of Grisons, a position that has connected the settlement with both central Graubünden and the Upper Engadin. Set at 1,769 metres, it is a compact mountain community whose surroundings change sharply with the seasons. The Julier Pass was already used as a route in Roman times, and the modern road still makes Bivio a natural stopping point between Tiefencastel and Silvaplana. In winter, lifts serve the ski slopes above the village; during the snow-free months, walkers and cyclists use high Alpine roads and trails.

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.
