Bergün/Bravuogn
In the 12th century, a small domain was created around Greifenstein Castle, located in the municipality of Filisur, which came into the possession of the Bishop of Chur in 1394. Latsch was mentioned in documents in 1154, Bergün in 1209 and Stuls in 1270. In 1537 Bergün was able to replace the episcopal rights by paying money and thus gained full sovereignty within the church association. In 1577/1590 it joined the Reformation. The Bergün court also included the neighborhoods of Filisur, Latsch and Stuls.
In addition to livestock farming, traffic over the Albula Pass and mining formed the basis of the town's livelihood. Using explosives - a first in Graubünden road construction at the time - a new road was built through the Bergünerstein in 1696. Mining and smelting of iron ore (hematite) from the lower Val Tisch and Val Plazbi experienced its last heyday around 1840.
When the Albula Railway opened in 1903, the people of Bergün expected a tourist boom that would raise the village to the level of the Upper Engadine spa towns of St. Moritz and Pontresina. The Kurhaus Bergün, built in 1905/1906, is a testimony to these hopes. The fact that the town had to say goodbye to these plans during the First World War is now seen as a lucky coincidence, as this meant that the village was able to preserve its historical townscape in its original form.
The Latsch and Stuls, which became independent political communities in 1851, merged again with Bergün in 1912 and 1921, respectively.
From 2014, negotiations were underway regarding a merger with the municipality of Filisur to form the municipality of Bergün Filisur.

Bergün, at an altitude of 1,376 metres, is a pretty town with old Engadin houses decorated with sgraffito and bay windows. Such a perfect setting that the first Heidi film was shot here in the early 1950s. In Bergün you should definitely visit the Albula Railway Museum and the Kurhaus, a beautiful Art Nouveau building where you can eat, stay overnight and enjoy wellness.

Bergün, nice little town on the climb to the Albula Pass. The La Tuor square tower is worth seeing.
