1. from high season to permanent season

With the changing climate, many regions in the mountains are much more attractive to visit than they were twenty or fifty years ago. The first warm days with the opportunity for hikes often start as early as March or April and last until the end of October. And in summer, pleasant refreshment, fresh air and lush greenery ensure perfect relaxation.

2. the year-round offer is constantly being expanded

All regions are aware that winter is just one of the important times of the year when people like to be in the mountains. Accordingly, the range of year-round attractions is being continuously expanded. Be it with mountain bike trails and climbing opportunities, attractive events, offers for vacations with children and much more.

3. everything skis – even in the future

Yes, it is like that: The snow often comes later and it often disappears earlier. But it comes year after year, there are always strong winters and the ski resorts go to great lengths to ensure that there is sufficient and sustainably produced artificial snow during the season. And there is hardly any place in the world where it is more beautiful than in the Grisons mountains to dedicate yourself to this sporting, unifying and relaxing hobby.

4. picturesque villages and attractive towns

Whether in winter, spring, summer or fall: the true beauty of Graubünden is always revealed away from the slopes, trails and hiking paths with many enchanting village scenes that you can enjoy during relaxed day trips. Here a local museum, there a wonderful pub to stop off and enjoy the mountain sun in the afternoon, here a small store with local specialties. If you like it a little busier now and then and want to go shopping again, you will find your happiness in Chur, Davos, St. Moritz and many other larger and well-developed towns.

5. a safe investment …

Buying a vacation property in the country where you live and perhaps also grew up is certainly the most obvious and uncomplicated way to be able to change your location as often as you like without having to deal with unfamiliar laws and authorities. And anyone who has followed the development knows that the Grisons mountains have become increasingly attractive and that you are buying a sought-after property that you can sell at any time and also rent out on a short-term or long-term basis.

6. … in a safe country

Especially in times like these, you can see how interest rates and inflation are making much bigger leaps all around and real estate prices are also subject to greater fluctuations than here in Switzerland. In addition, the second-home initiative means that no major construction of new vacation homes is to be expected, which will benefit from a stable environment in terms of prices and the attractiveness of the vacation regions. So you can be sure: If you buy today, you can expect your investment to increase in value.

7. sustainable vacations make for a good feeling

A second home in the mountains is ideal for making a good life for yourself with short distances to the valuable things in life. Because golfing in Alvaneu is at least as enjoyable as golfing in the Algarve, the culinary offerings in Arosa are at least as good as those in Dublin and the air in Scuol is certainly better than that in Shanghai. So if you value relaxation over adventure in distant lands, you are guaranteed to find what you are looking for in the Grisons mountains. So these vacations of the future not only please the owners of such properties, but also the climate.

8. the most beautiful home office in Switzerland

Hardly conceivable in the past, but already a reality for many today: if you have the option of working from home and work better at home than in a busy environment with lots of distractions, you can also do so in your vacation home. From Wednesday evening onwards, travel to Bünderland without traffic jams, do your work inspired on Thursday and Friday with a view of the mountains and seamlessly start the mountain weekend full of leisure activities in fantastic nature. That is pure quality of life.

9th Bye bye Unterland

Anyone who wants to spend most of their time in the mountains after retirement will be doing themselves several favors by changing their place of residence. Thanks to the possibility of an early withdrawal from the pension fund, buying a property becomes a dream come true with significant tax advantages, you benefit from more attractive prices in the primary housing market and, ultimately, you will spend your old age in one of the most sought-after regions in the country.

10. cheers to the family

One of the most important reasons at the end. And anyone who has grown up with a family vacation home knows exactly what we mean: Spending days together in the mountains year after year brings the family together in a way that is not possible with hotel vacations. The hours spent under the Christmas tree in the vacation apartment, the summer days outside in the meadow, the Easter egg hunt around the vacation home: precious traditions like these create lifelong positive memories that warm your heart every time you think about them. Only a vacation apartment or a vacation home in the mountains can do that.
