Stories, written by landscape photographer Johan Peijnenburg, about landscape photography in Graubünden. Graubünden, or Grisons in French, is the largest and easternmost canton of Switzerland. It is one of Johan’s favourite Swiss Landscape Photography destinations, amongst others because of its beautiful mountains, lakes and larch tree forests. It includes the Swiss alpine regions of Engadin, Albula, and Bernina as well as the Swiss National Park.
