Scuol
Few places in Grisons have a history as closely tied to the Romansh language as Ardez. Set on a terrace above the Inn in the Lower Engadine, this compact village belongs to Switzerland’s Romansh-speaking heartland; Vallader, the local Engadine idiom, remains important in daily life and on public signs. Its tightly grouped houses typify regional building traditions, with thick plastered walls, deep-set windows and sgraffito decoration. Above the settlement stand the ruins of Steinsberg Castle, a medieval stronghold. The Rhaetian Railway runs through the valley below, linking Ardez with Scuol and the rest of the Engadine. Meadows and cultivated terraces show how settlement has long been fitted to this steep-sided Alpine valley.

Built around mineral springs, Scuol grew into the regional centre of Switzerland’s Lower Engadin. The settlement stands above the Inn in a broad Alpine valley where Romansh remains part of everyday life; Vallader is the traditional local idiom. Scuol’s spa culture draws on naturally carbonated mineral waters, while older Engadin houses carry the region’s distinctive sgraffito decoration. In winter, the Motta Naluns ski area links slopes above Scuol with Ftan and Sent, while summer routes lead towards the Swiss National Park region.

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.
