Your project in the canton of Graubünden
Switzerland's largest canton, Graubünden brings together alpine valleys, renowned resorts and three languages: German, Romansh and Italian. Chur, the capital, has a lively old town and expanding residential districts. Davos, St. Moritz, Arosa and Klosters are home to chalets, second homes and hotels, often at high altitude. In the Lower Engadine, Scuol is surrounded by Engadine houses with thick walls decorated with sgraffito, while Poschiavo, in the south, is Italian-speaking. In the mountains, snow, pass roads and a short building season mean that outdoor work must be planned carefully. Whatever the valley, you can write your request in English. For a traditional house or visible work in a village, it is advisable to contact the municipality first. Give the municipality and postcode, when the property is accessible and any mountain road or transport restrictions.
- For a chalet at altitude, explain winter access and when the work could take place.
- For a second home, state when you will be there and who can let tradespeople in.
- For an Engadine house with thick walls, attach photos of the façades and openings.
Gates, fences and railings in the canton of Graubünden
In the canton of Graubünden, altitude and snow cover dictate the choice of materials. In Davos, chalets and second homes are fitted with solid wood or powder-coated steel balustrades designed to bear the weight of snow and cope with snow clearing. In Chur, apartment buildings and the old town tend to call for the renovation of balconies, handrails and old railings. In the Engadine, houses with sgraffito façades call for understated ironwork; the municipality will specify what is permitted. Owners who are away for part of the year appreciate remotely controlled motorised gates and fences that need little maintenance.
- For a chalet used as a second home, arrange the craftsman's visit during your stay so you can choose the colour and design of the balustrade together.
- At altitude, avoid swing gates that jam under accumulated snow; a cantilevered sliding gate remains usable all winter.

Frequently asked questions
What should I specify for a made-to-measure gate in Graubünden?
Give the width of the opening, the slope of the ground and whether you want a swing or sliding gate. Specify the material, the style and whether you want motorisation or an intercom. Photos of the entrance help the company plan the installation.
What affects the choice between a sliding and a swing gate?
Available side space, ground slope and vehicle access affect how a gate can move. Provide photographs and approximate dimensions of the entrance. Ask the installer to assess foundations, clearances and controls before agreeing a layout, particularly where the gate opens near a shared route.
What should I compare in made-to-measure gates, fences and railings quotes?
Compare structure, finish, foundations and fitting, with motorisation and access controls separately specified. For railings, clarify the support and intended protective function. Ask how the completed installation is checked and which work on paving or adjoining surfaces is included.
How should I prepare for the made-to-measure gates, fences and railings visit or work?
Prepare a sketch of the entrance or edge to protect and mark known boundaries. Explain delivery and vehicle-access constraints. Keep access codes private, and agree permissions for shared property and any required specialist assessment before fabrication or site alterations proceed.
