Together for Grisons
The only trilingual Canton in Switzerland is diversified by its economic, cultural, and political profile. With an area of 7106 km², Grisons is the largest Canton in Switzerland and, with 150 valleys, 615 lakes, 140 tourist locations, and countless sunny days per year, offers a high quality of life. The Grisons Cantonal Administration is as diverse as our landscape.
