Overview

The Plessur Group is a mountain range in the eastern Alps of Switzerland. Well-known sites in this group are the skiing stations and villages Arosa and Lenzerheide. It is considered to be part of the Rhaetian Alps. The Plessur Group is named after the river Plessur, which originates from the center of the range. The Plessur Range is separated from the Glarus Alps in the west by the Rhine valley, from the Rätikon range in the north by the Landquart river valley (Prättigau) and from the Albula Range in the south-east by the Landwasser river valley.

The Plessur Range is drained by the rivers Rhine, Plessur, Landwasser and Landquart.
