Walser Areas in Graubünden
-
Since the first half of the 13th century there have been settlements of Walser in Graubünden. At different times the German speaking settlers moved eastwards after Rätien, over the Oberalppass into Bündner Oberland, where Obersaxon remains as a Walser settlement, from here south in Rheinswald and into the landscape of Davos.

In order to create an economic coverage, sophisticated ways of working were necessary on the individually and jointly used land.

Walser way of settling in Vorarlberg
-
High-lying pastures normally were leased-out to bigger groups of settlers rather than individuals. The land was divided up between the families who built their homes and barns in the middle of the assigned land for economic reasons.
