Juf "Europe's highest year-round inhabited village"
Juf is located in a barren mountain world at the foot of the Septimer Pass at 2,126 m above sea level - and is considered Europe's highest year-round inhabited settlement.
Juf is part of the municipality of Avers and is located in the high valley of the same name at a record-breaking altitude of 2,126 m above sea level. Around 22 people brave the frosty temperatures of the long winter up here, most of them as mountain farmers.
Cowbells ringing and marmot whistles welcome visitors. A cozy guest house accommodates anyone who wants to enjoy the extraordinary atmosphere in the quiet mountain village at the end of the highway for a little longer. Juf is ideal for long mountain hikes, but also for quiet days away from the hustle and bustle. The best way to discover the marmots is on the world's only signposted nature trail. Chamois and ibexes also live in the rocks above the settlement, and if you're lucky you might even spot eagles. In winter, Juf is a starting point for a variety of ski tours.
