Outdoor areas of recreational and sports facilities are open. Ski resorts are open, but with limited capacity. Check the available capacities on the website of the corresponding ski resort before you arrive in Graubünden.
Note the general rules concerning behaviour and hygiene that apply in Switzerland.
As a rule:
The Federal Council recommends reducing contacts.
In Switzerland, anyone arriving from states or regions with a high risk of infection must quarantine for ten days. You must provide evidence on arrival of a negative PCR test conducted no more than 72 hours before your arrival in Switzerland. You then enter a ten-day quarantine. However, you can leave this from the 7th day if you can demonstrate a negative result from a rapid antigen test or PCR test. A negative PCR test result should also be demonstrated for flights from countries that are not considered high-risk areas. This is checked before boarding the plane.
The list of states or regions with a high infection risk is constantly being updated.

A travel ban applies to the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil until further notice. All people from the stated countries and from Ireland who have arrived after 14/12/2020 must immediately register with the cantonal registration office, enter quarantine for ten days from the date of arrival and, after the 8th day, present a negative PCR test in order to be able to leave their apartment or hotel room.
Those who travel into Switzerland and are subject to mandatory quarantine are obligated to immediately report to the responsible cantonal authorities.
Please note: The Canton of Graubünden does not require travellers from other countries to enter quarantine on arrival if they have received two vaccinations for COVID-19 or have previously tested positive to COVID-19 (verifiably within the last three months). Travellers from Brazil, Ireland, United Kingdom and South Africa are excluded from this practice; they must enter quarantine on arrival in all cases.
Please note that Switzerland is also on the high-risk list in some countries. Travellers must therefore quarantine at home immediately after they return from Switzerland. Please contact the responsible authority in your country for corresponding travel advice.

Take the symptoms seriously and follow the instructions on the “What to do in the event of symptoms of the disease” page from FOPH. This is the best way to protect yourself and others.
Guests with symptoms should remain in their room/apartment wherever possible. People accompanying those guests do not have to quarantine until the test result has been received. They should, however, avoid the general areas of the hotel. To make this easier, it is recommended to leave food by the door for the guest and the other people in the same room/apartment.
It is possible to depart in a private vehicle following consultation with Contact Tracing Graubünden. A return journey by public transport is only possible in consultation with Contact Tracing Graubünden.
