Casanna

Casanna is a summit in the eastern Swiss Alps located in Grisons at 2,557 meters elevation with steep terrain. The peak is crossed by multiple hiking routes that connect to the surrounding mountain network.

The mountain served as a geographical marker during the formation of the Three Leagues, which merged to create Grisons canton in 1803. This region developed as an important mountain territory with settlements shaped by Alpine geography.

The area reflects influences from German, Romansh, and Italian traditions, which shape how people interact with these mountains and speak in their communities.

The best hiking season is during warmer months when snow levels are lower and routes are clearer. Proper gear and mountain boots are important because conditions can change quickly in this terrain.

A cycling route connects the valley floor to Casanna Alp through forest roads and alpine meadows, passing beneath an engineering bridge and into side valleys that most visitors miss. This path reveals quieter corners that feel separated from the main tourist flow.
