Quaint alpine villages and great skiing entice travelers to the Grisons. The sparsely populated region of eastern Switzerland contains the source of the Rhine and Inn rivers, 140 square miles of glaciers and dense pine forests. Join the ski action at the resorts of St. Moritz, Davos and Arosa or stake a lofty claim with a visit to Juf, which boasts the highest altitude of any inhabited village in the Alps. In summer, take a hike through the Engadine Valley in the unspoiled beauty of Swiss National Park.

The Roman church is impressive; it contains very interesting ancient paintings and beautiful pieces of work, two splendid altars from the fifteenth century (one at the end of the wooden choir and the other inside the church crypt). But I would like to tell about a sort of curiosity; on the inner wall on the left side of the main entrance door you will read a name, "Jürg Jenatsch", and on the opposite corner (to the right) you can see the blazon of a noble family, Von Plantas. These two elements have inspired a fantasy movie by Daniel Schmid ("Jenatsch"), whose main character crosses the border between present and past while visiting this region. The movie deserves to be seen if you get the chance to find a DVD in some library!
