La Punt Chamues-ch: La Punt: Wasserreservoir

Tucked along the Upper Engadin valley beside the Inn River, La Punt Chamues-ch is a place whose character is shaped by its high-Alpine setting and the river’s broad corridor. The municipality joins the historic settlements of La Punt and Chamues-ch, where substantial Engadin houses preserve the region’s distinctive sgraffito decoration. At the foot of the Albula Pass route, it lies on an important connection between the Engadin and northern Graubünden. In winter, the valley forms part of the route of the Engadin Skimarathon, while warmer months bring walkers and cyclists into the surrounding mountains.

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.
