Sufers: Sufnersee
Sufers has served as a settlement on the San Bernardino Pass route in Grisons since the Middle Ages. The compact community lies in the Hinterrhein valley beside Sufnersee, a reservoir on the Hinterrhein River enclosed by steep Alpine slopes. Forest, pasture and scattered farm buildings lend the lakeshore a working mountain character. Sufers stands on the northern approach to the San Bernardino Pass, a long-used Alpine crossing between the Hinterrhein and Misox valleys. The route has tied this small settlement to movement through Graubünden for centuries, while the lake and surrounding slopes remain central to its identity.

Among the settlements of Grisons, Sufers stands out for its position beside the Sufnersee reservoir in the high Rheinwald valley. The Hinterrhein follows this alpine corridor, which leads south towards the Splügen Pass on the Italian border. Sufers has long been connected with the transalpine route across the pass, used for trade and travel before modern roads reshaped the journey. The reservoir forms part of the Hinterrhein hydropower system, bringing an engineered landmark to a valley of forests, pasture and steep mountain slopes.

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.
