Val Mustair
Val Müstair follows the Rom River through eastern Grisons, and this Alpine corridor has long connected the Engadin with the Vinschgau beyond the Italian border. Steep, forested slopes descend to a patchwork of meadows and small settlements, giving the valley a strongly rural character. The Benedictine Convent of St John at Müstair is its defining cultural landmark: the UNESCO World Heritage Site preserves an exceptional cycle of early medieval wall paintings. Romansh, one of Switzerland’s national languages, remains integral to local life, while the road over the Ofen Pass links the valley with the Upper Engadin.

Val Müstair occupies the upper Rom valley in eastern Grisons, close to Switzerland’s border with Italy. The river runs through a string of compact settlements between wooded slopes and high Alpine terrain; the road over the Ofen Pass leads west toward the Engadin. At Müstair, the Benedictine Convent of St John is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, noted for its exceptionally important Carolingian wall paintings. The valley forms part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Engiadina Val Müstair, which includes the Swiss National Park. Its Romansh heritage is audible in local place names and remains central to the area’s identity.

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.
