Worth knowing

What visitors say about the resort
Absolute calm is the draw: no crowds, no queues, and a mountain panorama that reviewers count as a reward in itself. Juf is the highest permanently inhabited village in Europe. The pistes are broad and well groomed, the slopes are sunny and the skiing is unhurried. The day pass is among the cheapest in Graubunden, a rarity in Switzerland. There is scope for freeriders and ski tourers, and on Wednesdays the Cavetta drag runs under floodlights into the evening.
Sparseness and harshness are the flip side. The whole area rests on two drag lifts and a children's tow, and the runs are few and mostly graded black, leaving beginners with very little. The Tscheischa drag is long and extremely steep, and not everyone manages it. The high-alpine setting brings strong winds, which is precisely why expanding the area is regarded as economically hopeless. Resort infrastructure is essentially absent.
