Top Accommodation<br />
Trendy Hotel — Cube Hotel, Savognin<br />
The name stands <strong>for</strong> unlimited sport, non-stop entertainment<br />
and uncompromising design. The Cube Hotel in<br />
Savognin is right by the valley station of the chair lift and<br />
just a few metres away from the Lai Barnagn bathing lake,<br />
making it the ideal base <strong>for</strong> a whole host of activities in<br />
and around Savognin. Also, the hotel is perfect <strong>for</strong> bikers<br />
who love their bike above all else — there is a ramp so<br />
they can take their bikes as far as their bedroom door.<br />
Children — Hotel Muchetta, Davos-Wiesen<br />
In this play paradise children can have fun with any toy<br />
suitable <strong>for</strong> their age or they can go on an adventure<br />
day, always under the supervision of professional childminders,<br />
naturally. In the spacious family rooms and studios<br />
families of any size can easily settle in. If there is still time,<br />
the family can travel, thanks to the “Davos Klosters Inclusive<br />
Card”, on all the cable cars <strong>for</strong> free.<br />

Swiss National Park<br />
Covering a total of 170 km 2 , the Swiss National Park<br />
is the biggest nature reserve in Switzerland. It was founded<br />
in 1914 as the fi rst national park in the Alps. This alpine<br />
landscape is a protected area and is home to a unique<br />
world of animals and plant species. A visitor can see some<br />
of the around 1,800 deer, 1,450 chamois and 270 ibex.<br />
High wire park — Sur En<br />
An adrenalin rush is guaranteed in the high wire park Sur<br />
En in Lower Engadin. After completing the professional<br />
instruction anyone can attempt the various courses.<br />
The Tramblai is ideal <strong>for</strong> small children. A bigger challenge<br />
is the Uina course with fi fteen different elements and two<br />
metres above the ground. Still higher are the Sursass and<br />
Rims courses at seven and ten metres. The fi nal challenge<br />
now awaits you at twelve metres above the ground —<br />
the Lischana zip line.<br />

UNESCO World Heritage: The Albula and<br />
Bernina Lines of the Rhaetian Railway<br />
The Albula and Bernina tracks between Thusis in <strong>Graubünden</strong><br />
and Tirano in Italy are examples of outstanding<br />
technical achievement. As the highest alpine transit route,<br />
the Albula / Bernina lines belong to the most spectacular<br />
railway lines in the world. Since 2008 the railway has<br />
become part of the UNESCO World Heritage.<br />
Parpaner Rothorn<br />
From the Parpaner Rothorn summit you can see 1000 <strong>mountain</strong><br />
peaks. With the unknown standing next to the great<br />
names, such as Palü and Piz Bernina. Just jump on the cable<br />
car in the holiday resort, Lenzerheide and be transported<br />
smoothly up to the Parpaner Rothorn to 2,865 metres.<br />
The viewing plat<strong>for</strong>m is an open invitation to all sun worshippers<br />
and <strong>mountain</strong> lovers. Well-prepared paths lead<br />
back down to Lenzerheide or in just three hours to the nearby<br />
resort of Arosa.<br />

The Rhine Gorge “Ruinaulta”<br />
Shortly after Ilanz the Vorderrhein (Lower Rhine) disappears<br />
<strong>for</strong> 16 kilometres between enormous moraines, steep chalk<br />
cliffs and the bizarre effects of erosion shaping the Rhine<br />
gorge. About ten thousand years ago, a massive rock<br />
slide of 10 – 15 km 3 fi lled the valley, the biggest such event<br />
anywhere in the Alps. Over the ages the Vorderrhein has<br />
cut its way through this huge debris leaving an extraordinary<br />
landscape behind it.<br />
Adventure park Madrisaland<br />
Children run riot around the adventure park Madrisaland.<br />
The fl ying-fox, the giant slide or the climbing garden all<br />
allow your children to let off steam. At a slightly slower pace<br />
in the animal park they can also enjoy milking goats and<br />
riding ponies. In August 2009, here above Klosters on<br />
the Madrisa, the adventure park was opened. Thanks<br />
to a well-planned design, the park is also suitable <strong>for</strong> both<br />
the blind and disabled.<br />

Hiking — Youth Hostel, Lenzerheide<br />
In 1932 the Lenzerheide youth hostel was opened, as<br />
the fi rst building in Switzerland designed specifi cally <strong>for</strong><br />
that purpose. In 2006 the building was renovated. The<br />
modern youth hostel captivates with its simple design<br />
and functional room plan. The hostel reminds through<br />
its contemporary architect and pictures of the early pioneer<br />
period of <strong>Graubünden</strong> tourism. The hostel is now also<br />
suitable <strong>for</strong> disabled people.<br />
Wellness — Tschuggen Grand Hotel, Arosa<br />
Guests can but catch their breath while looking out from<br />
the Tschuggen Grand Hotel over Arosa and the majestic<br />
<strong>mountain</strong>s. Or be impressed not only by the luxury,<br />
elegance, colour and amazing inner decor of the Tschuggen<br />
Grand Hotel, but also by the many architectural features<br />
incorporated in its design. But Tschuggen Grand Hotel is<br />
setting the pace not only in Arosa, but even further afi eld<br />
with its gastronomy. The hotel’s own coaster transports<br />
its guests directly to the holiday resort with its hiking and<br />
biking paradise.<br />

The Piz Bernina is the most easterly of the alpine four-thousand-metre<br />
peaks (4,049 m a.s.l.). The view from the Piz<br />
Bernina is certainly grandiose. You can see <strong>mountain</strong>s and<br />
valleys from <strong>Graubünden</strong> across to the Tirol and South Tirol<br />
and across the Swiss interior as far as the Bernese Oberland<br />
and the Valais to the Barre des Ecrins, the most southerly<br />
four-thousand-metre peak in the Alps. Only experienced<br />
<strong>mountain</strong> climbers can tackle this staircase to heaven<br />
but everyone can enjoy wonderful views of the Piz Bernina<br />
from the Julier Pass, the Piz Corvatsch or the Diavolezza.<br />
Electro Bikes — the easy way<br />
to cross the Alps<br />
SwitzerlandMobility in <strong>Graubünden</strong> Cable Car inclusive<br />
Every time you turn the pedal the electro motor doubles<br />
the strength. This is one delightful way to enjoy the<br />
150 valleys of <strong>Graubünden</strong>, scale the <strong>mountain</strong>s and cross<br />
the passes. In many places you can rent E-bikes and on<br />
the way charge up the battery. By the way, in <strong>Graubünden</strong>,<br />
the batteries are recharged using energy from wind,<br />
water and bio-fuel.<br />
www.graubunden.com/biking<br />
As the cable car pulls up towards the most splendid panorama, bikers<br />
and hikers are agreed – there is no way more pleasant to climb into<br />
the <strong>mountain</strong>s. And in the <strong>mountain</strong> restaurant with fresh air the<br />
Bündner platter can be enjoyed with local cheese and local driedmeat.<br />
Delicious! For many holiday destinations in <strong>Graubünden</strong>,<br />
guests staying overnight can often travel free with the cable car<br />
using the “All inclusive” offer. The hotel guest’s ticket in a location<br />
often provides further services free or on discount.<br />

Vals – an exceptional thermal spring<br />
in <strong>Graubünden</strong><br />
60,000 stone quartz tiles were hewn out of the local <strong>mountain</strong>s<br />
<strong>for</strong> the Vals thermal baths. Today Peter Zumthor’s<br />
masterpiece is a major attraction. Two years after its<br />
opening it was already designated a listed building. The<br />
baths gain their water supply directly from <strong>Graubünden</strong>’s<br />
thermal springs. For the visitor there are numerous indoor<br />
pools available at varying temperatures and a large outdoor<br />
pool with a glorious view into the <strong>mountain</strong>s.<br />
Bathing in crystal clear water<br />
615 lakes spread out over Switzerland’s no.1 holiday destination.<br />
Of course, some are fed by glaciers and are ice-cold.<br />
But during the summer many others are warm and very<br />
suitable <strong>for</strong> bathing. A wonderful example is the Caumasee<br />
(Cauma Lake) which draws its water from underground<br />
springs. The lake is hidden in the middle of the Flimser<br />
<strong>for</strong>est at 997 metres. With its turquoise blue water<br />
and picturesque coves, the lake outclasses so many<br />
of the beaches you would fi nd in the Mediterranean.<br />
