Landquart: Skilift Mastrils
Mastrils lies along the Rhine Valley in Switzerland’s Grisons, on the lower eastern slopes of the Calanda massif above the broad valley floor. The Skilift Mastrils is a small local lift on an open hillside, reflecting the area’s close connection with winter sport rather than the scale of a major Alpine resort. Pastures and wooded margins shape the slopes around the settlement, while the Rhine Valley forms an important north–south corridor through Graubünden. Mastrils was an independent municipality until 2012, when it joined the new municipality of Landquart. This quiet residential community stands between the mountain flank and one of eastern Switzerland’s principal valley landscapes.

Landquart occupies the floor of the Alpine Rhine valley in Grisons, where the Landquart River joins the Rhine. The municipality includes the settlements of Igis and Mastrils and lies between the broad Rhine plain and Alpine slopes. Landquart is an important rail point: its station connects Swiss Federal Railways with the metre-gauge Rhaetian Railway, whose network runs into Graubünden’s mountain valleys. The Rhaetian Railway’s main workshops are based here, underlining the town’s practical role in regional transport. Landquart Fashion Outlet adds a contemporary shopping destination near the station.

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.
