Tujetsch: Cuolm Da Vi
Tujetsch is best known in Grisons for the Oberalp Pass, an Alpine crossing linking the cantons of Graubünden and Uri. The municipality extends through the upper Vorderrhein valley, with Sedrun as its principal settlement and hamlets including Rueras and Dieni. Near the pass, Lai da Tuma is regarded as the source lake of the Vorderrhein, one of the Rhine’s headwaters. The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn follows the valley and crosses the pass on its route between Disentis/Mustér and Andermatt. Tujetsch belongs to the Romansh-speaking Surselva. Its high slopes form part of the Andermatt-Sedrun ski area, while mountain routes connect the valley with surrounding passes.

Tujetsch lies along the young Vorderrhein in Switzerland’s Grisons, where a high Alpine valley rises toward the Oberalp Pass. Sedrun, the municipality’s principal settlement, is a stop on the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn route between Disentis and Andermatt, an Alpine rail link that crosses the pass. Above the valley, Lake Toma is traditionally identified as the source of the Rhine, while the Oberalp Pass marks the boundary with canton Uri. Tujetsch belongs to the Surselva, a Romansh-speaking part of Graubünden, where the Sursilvan language remains an important part of local 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.
