At 2,126 meters above sea level, Juf is nown to be the highest inhabited place in Europe. In the Avers valley of Graubünden, Juf has just a handful of residents and fewer than a dozen houses, but the village has been continuously inhabited since the 13th century. Down the mountain, there are a couple of other settlements including the highest post office, highest supermarket, and highest elementary school in Switzerland.

Although a village in Italy disputes the title, I think the farmhouse right at the top of Juf seals the deal. After all, a farmhouse, if used by the inhabitants of the village, is technically still part of the village. Selling tasty fresh goodies like eggs, butter, and milk straight from the animals, it is also the highest farm in all of Europe.

The people here are rather nice, they wave back when you wave at them and are always up for a good laugh when a silly tourist finds their way of life amusing. To them, it’s literally just another day in the life. Even though they are nearly a half hour away from the nearest town and over an hour away from the cantonal capital, they don’t mind the tourists so much. There are plenty of places where you can stay along the lone road.
A local in the area, Bruno, built an impressive model railway in his garden complete with viaducts, tunnels and impressive handmade train carriages. The locals are fluent German, but some also speak Italian and Romansh between themselves. If you want to look down on everyone else, stay for the weekend.
