1. From high season to permanent season

With the changing climate, many regions in the mountains are attractive to visit for much longer than was the case twenty or fifty years ago. The first warm days with the possibility of hiking now start in March or April and last until the end of October. And in summer, pleasant refreshment, fresh air and lush greenery make for perfect relaxation.

2. The year-round offer is constantly being expanded

All regions are aware that winter is now only one of the important times of the year when people will enjoy being in the mountains. Accordingly, the offer for year-round attractiveness is constantly being expanded. Be it with mountain bike trails and climbing opportunities, with attractive events, offers for holidays with children and much more.

3. Everyone is skiing – also in 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 a place in the world where it is more beautiful than in the Grisons mountains to devote oneself to this sporting, bonding and relaxing hobby.

4. Picturesque villages and attractive towns

Whether in winter, spring, summer or autumn: the true beauty of Graubünden is always revealed away from the pistes, trails and hiking paths with many enchanting village scenes to be enjoyed during relaxed day trips. Here a local museum, there a wonderful pub to stop and enjoy the mountain sun in the afternoon, here a small shop with local specialities. Those who like a little more activity now and then and would like to go shopping again will find their happiness in Chur, Davos, St. Moritz and many other larger and well-developed towns.

5. A safe investment ...

Buying a holiday property in the country where you live and perhaps also grew up is certainly the most obvious and uncomplicated way of being able to make a change of scenery 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 more and more attractive and that one acquires a sought-after property that one can sell at any time and also rent out for short or long periods.

6. ... in a safe country

Especially in times like these, you can see how interest rates and inflation make much bigger leaps all around and how real estate prices are subject to greater fluctuations than here in Switzerland. In addition, due to the second-home initiative, we do not expect a lot of construction activity for new holiday homes, so we benefit from a stable environment in terms of price and attractiveness of the holiday regions. So you can be sure: If you buy today, you can expect your investment to increase in value.

7. Sustainable holidays make you feel good

A second home in the mountains is ideal to enjoy a life with short distances to the valuable things in life. After all, golfing in Alvaneu is at least as pleasant 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 faraway countries, you're guaranteed to find what you're looking for in the Grisons mountains. So these holidays of the future not only please the owners of such a property, but always also the climate

8. The most beautiful home office in Switzerland

In the past hardly conceivable, today already a reality for many: Those who have the option of a home office and work better at home than in a busy environment with many distractions can also do so in their holiday home. From Wednesday evening onwards, you can travel to Bünderland free of traffic jams, do your work on Thursday and Friday with a view of the mountains, inspired, and seamlessly start the mountain weekend full of leisure opportunities in fantastic nature. That is pure quality of life.

9. Bye bye lowlands

If you want to spend your time in the mountains after retirement, you will do yourself several favours by changing your place of residence. Thanks to the possibility of an early withdrawal from the pension fund, the purchase of a property becomes an achievable dream with significant tax advantages, you benefit from more attractive prices in the primary residence market and, finally, you will spend your old age in one of the most sought-after regions in the country.

10. Hurray for the family

One of the most important reasons in conclusion. And anyone who grew up with a holiday home in the family 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 holidays. The hours under the Christmas tree in the holiday flat, the summer days outside on the meadow, the Easter egg hunt around the holiday home: precious traditions like these provide lifelong positive memories that warm your heart every time you think about them. Only a holiday flat or a holiday home in the mountains can do that.
