Village tour: Valbella

After the damming in 1882, Heidsee attracted all sorts of people: citizens of Chur, writers (Thomas Mann), artists (Hanna Kiel, Annemarie Schwarzenbach), theologians (Leonhard Ragaz), women activists (Clara Ragaz, Gertrud Rüegg), and playboys. They built summer villas, established hotels, founded holiday colonies, operated the adult education center Casoja, and indulged in the Dolce far niente. Get to know Valbella and its fleeting guests.
