There at the gateway to Switzerland’s largest holiday region, in Maienfeld, waits Heidi - arguably the most famous girl in Switzerland! She enjoyed her adventures with Peter the goatherd and the old Alp Öhi in the Bündner Herrschaft region. Although the Bündner Herrschaft is the northernmost point of Graubünden, it is the most southerly in terms of its climate. Mist is rare, as the warm Föhn wind blows over vineyards and orchards until late autumn and pushes the Öchsle scale up high, allowing the fruit to ripen for excellent wines. The Chur Rhine Valley is also where Chur is situated – the capital of Graubünden and centre of the region. By using the Rhaetian Railway or the Graubünden Post-Bus you can visit many tourist regions, both smaller and larger, in no time at all.
