Switzerland Vacation - Discover Graubunden

In Switzerland's competitive repertoire of awe-inspiring scenery, delicious cheese and chocolate, world-class medical spas and leading boarding schools, the canton (state) of Graubunden truly stands out.

Switzerland’s easternmost and largest canton borders Austria, Italy and Liechtenstein. When asked what makes this place so special, locals wax lyrical about its wild, natural beauty combined with the finer things of life.

Perfect for families seeking spectacular outdoor adventure, each of the canton's regions is only a hop, skip and a jump away. Days are spent hiking among the craggy ravines of the Rhine Gorge, otherwise known as the Swiss Grand Canyon, relaxing in thermal healing waters at one of its many world-renowned spas, or taking a train through glacial landscapes so supremely beautiful, it's aptly been titled one of the most spectacular train journeys in the world.
