Zuoz: Zuoz/Pizzet (St. Moritz)
Zuoz/Pizzet lies along the Upper Engadin stretch of the Inn valley, where open alpine pasture rises from the village toward slopes used for skiing. Zuoz is among the valley’s best-preserved historic settlements, marked by substantial Engadin houses with thick walls, deeply set windows and decorative sgraffito typical of the region’s building tradition. Romansh remains part of local identity, and Puter is the traditional idiom of this part of the Engadin. Pizzet forms the mountainside above Zuoz and belongs to the Zuoz–Madulain ski area. Its lifts and runs extend over broad meadows, while the wider Upper Engadin links the area with St. Moritz, mountain valleys and lakes.

Built around the old transit route through the Upper Engadin, Zuoz grew into one of the valley’s best-preserved historic villages. It stands on a terrace above the River Inn in Grisons, surrounded by the broad, high-altitude landscape of the Engadin. The compact centre is marked by imposing Engadin houses, many decorated with sgraffito, a traditional scratched-plaster ornament. Chesa Planta, a patrician house built in 1595, reflects the prosperity that trade and regional influence brought to the community; today it is associated with Romansh language and culture.

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.
