Description

The Lukmanier Pass was once the pass that connected the central and eastern part of Switzerland with Italy, because the Gotthard with the wild Schöllenen Gorge was a difficult obstacle to overcome. It was probably the Walser who made the Schöllenen Gorge accessible around 1200 with a mule track with several bridges. Since this route was shorter for many connections, the importance of the Lukmanier decreased. However, since it is less than 2000 meters high, it retained the use of a pass that is usually accessible even in winter.
The Lukmanier is easy to reach both by road and on the footpath, as it rises continuously with moderate incline from the north. The pass height is also the border between the cantons of Graubünden and Ticino, so if someone speaks of the "Lukmanier Pass", then it could be a German-speaking Grisons, if someone speaks of the "Passo del Lucomagno" then maybe that is a Ticino. But if someone speaks of the "Cuolm Lucmagn", then it is almost absolutely certainly a Romance-speaking Grisons, because this fourth national language of Switzerland is spoken almost exclusively in Graubünden, and the trend is decreasing.
