The ten best stories for a blogger magazine

What have you always wanted to experience in Graubünden to report about it in text and pictures? With this question, Graubünden Ferien turned to bloggers from German-speaking countries this spring. This was prompted by the idea of a travel magazine, written by authors who usually publish online. The intention to print their experiences on paper and thus give a readership the opportunity to dive even deeper into the stories was well received.

Over 150 bloggers applied as authors and photographers for the magazine and submitted a total of around 200 proposals. Ten ideas will now be put into practice. Jana Zieseniss from the German travel blog "Sonne & Wolke" is an ambassador for the project and has also come up with an idea: "We all have a few crazy travel ideas in our heads. Things that we would like to do at some point in our lives. What if someday could be now?"

Over ten passes and to five aborigines

The first research trip starts this month. From Chur to Chur - over ten passes - is the extraordinary road trip, about which you can read in the magazine. The outcome of another story is still open, as "On the road with chance" takes us through Graubünden. "Hardcore Detox", on the other hand, is the goal of a journey into the absolute "offline". Which Graubünden village will be visited for this is not yet revealed. The Piz Bernina high altitude tour leads to the roof of the Eastern Alps. Secrets and treasures are at the center of two stories about the speciality capuns and about mining in the mountains.

Eye to eye with the five oldest Grisons animals - ibex, deer, bearded vulture, chamois and marmot - will probably be just as much an experience as the Winter Olympics "en famille". In the latter, a family from the German lowlands dares to test the snow. Another story tells of forgotten ski resorts or what has become of them. Last but not least, a journey with the camera in the footsteps of the architect Peter Zumthor promises new views and insights.

Many stories to tell

The travel magazine will be published in November 2020 and will be included with the Transhelvetica magazine, among others. Martin Vincenz, CEO of Graubünden Ferien, is looking forward to the publication: "With the blogger magazine, we are linking the traditional and modern media worlds. It also shows how lively print can be. The stories are the main thing. We have plenty of those to tell." And with concrete tips for reliving the experience, the travel magazine builds a bridge from inspiration to offer.
