Bivio, Switzerland
Julier Pass

Of deep alpine valleys, gorgeous lakes and the majestic alps.

Snaking through the majestic craggy peaks of the Albula Range of the Alps, the Julier Pass promises visitors a non-stop journey of beautiful, picture perfect scenery from its start at Engadin Valley to the end at Graubünden. Starting from the ancient town of Chur, Switzerland’s oldest town, visitors drive up winding, serpentine turns via Churwalden to Valbella, enjoying sweeping views over the Alpine oasis Lenzerheide along the way. If time permits, visitors should definitely stop by the idyllic Lenzerheide resort, and discover some of the many attractions in the region that make it such an incredibly popular tourist destination. Be it the gorgeous, crystalline Heidsee lake, the exciting Globi hiking trail, or the wonderfully relaxing Lenz sun-terrace, Lenzerheide offers year-round fun for all who visit.


At its peak, the Julier Pass is elevated at an impressive height of 2,284-metres above sea level, providing spectacular panoramic views over the surrounding classic Swiss scenery. Along the Julier Pass route, visitors should also not miss Silvaplana, home to pristine nature and the stunning Lake Silvaplana, before heading down to the luxurious town of St. Moritz, an internationally recognised shopping paradise. During the winter, other highlights include the delightful display of horse racing on the region’s deep, frozen lake, as well as the world’s sole al natural bob ice-run that thrills with its exhilarating speed and exciting runs. Winter sports enthusiasts will also enjoy the world’s longest sled run at the Seilpark on the spectacular Alp Pradaschier.
