The canton of Grisons, or canton of Graubünden is the largest and easternmost canton of Switzerland. It has international borders with Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. Its German name, Graubünden, translates as the Grey Leagues, referring to the canton's origin in three local alliances, the League of God's House, the Grey League, and the League of the Ten Jurisdictions. Grisons is also home to three of Switzerland's ethnic groups, whose spoken languages—Swiss German, Italian and Romansh—are all native to the canton.

Nature Attractions In Canton of Graubunden

  • 1. Caumasee Flims
    Caumasee is a lake near Flims, in the Grisons, Switzerland. It is one of the lakes on the Flims Rockslide deposits. The lake is fed from underground sources. Its surface area is 10.3194 ha. The level of the lake varies by approximately 4 to 5 meters along with the varying underground water flow during the year, hence reaches its minimum by the end of April when snow melting in the mountains increases.

  • 11. Lake Cresta Flims
    Crestasee is a small lake shared by the municipalities of Flims and Trin in the Grisons, Switzerland. From 1892 a guest house on its northern end served as pension and still is a restaurant today in its original state. There is no tributary to the lake and whilst walking along its shores you may be surprised by finding the lake both sides of you, realizing, that the holes between the rocks lying around the lake are filled with water. The rough character of the whole area derives from being a debris area of the gigantic Flims Rockslide, where waters flow underground until feeding lakes at certain spots such as Crestasee, Caumasee or Lag Prau Pulté. Less than 100 yards from its northern end a gorge called Felsbachschlucht is formed by river Flem, coming from Flims, whose Romansh name is Fle...
