Gorges, passes and mountain villages between the Rhine and the Inn
Graubünden is the largest canton in Switzerland and the only one where German, Romansh and Italian are spoken side by side. Around 150 valleys run between the Surselva, the Prättigau and the Hinterrhein, many of them so quiet that in the evening all you hear is the rushing of the mountain stream.
Travelling by camper, you experience contrasts within a small area: the wild Ruinaulta near Flims, the narrow Viamala gorge, the Walser hamlet of Juf in Avers at over 2,100 metres, and next to them lively resorts such as Lenzerheide, Davos or Arosa. Winding pass roads connect the valleys and turn every stage into an experience.
Parkn'Sleep shows you legal pitches with hosts in Graubünden: on farms, at mountain railways, at restaurants and by remote lakes. You arrive spontaneously, check in by QR code and spend the night with a clear conscience.
The Rhaetian Railway over the Albula and Bernina lines is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Around Flims lies the Ruinaulta, the Grand Canyon of Switzerland, formed after the largest landslide in the Alps. Add to that Walser settlements, castle ruins in the Domleschg and thermal water in Vals.
In summer you can hike on old mule tracks, go river rafting in the Ruinaulta and ride the bike trails around Lenzerheide. In winter ski resorts such as Laax, Davos Klosters and Arosa Lenzerheide are close by, and cross-country skiers find groomed trails in almost every valley.
June to October is the ideal time for pass drives and hikes, and in autumn the larches turn golden. From December to April Graubünden is one of the most snow-sure regions in the Alps. Some passes are closed in winter.
At campsites and designated pitches. Municipalities regulate wild camping differently, and in many places it is prohibited. With Parkn'Sleep you find places where you are definitely allowed to stay.
Most of the main passes such as Julier, Albula or Bernina are well built. Narrow side roads, for example into Avers or the Safien valley, require experience. Check the permitted vehicle length beforehand.
Yes, many pitches at mountain railways are open all year round. Snow chains, winter tyres and good heating are then part of your basic equipment.
Usually not. You arrive spontaneously and check in on site. Some pitches can also be booked in advance, which is worth it in high season.
