Grisons
Just a few geographical facts are enough to reveal the canton of Graubünden as an outstanding vacation region. After all, 12 million guests a year can hardly be wrong. Graubünden has the largest area of all Swiss cantons, but nowhere else is it as sparsely populated. This may be due to the topographical conditions of the canton: Only one four-thousand-meter peak, but 462 three-thousand-meter peaks can be found on its territory. Of around 1500 lakes in the whole of Switzerland, 615 are located in Graubünden. But it's not just Graubünden's nature that fascinates visitors; the canton is also well ahead when it comes to active, wellness and educational vacations.
