  Districts of Switzerland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, for historical reasons districts in cantons Graubünden and Schwyz are their own legal entities with jurisdiction over tax and often have their own Landsgemeinde.
The Canton of Schwyz is divided into six districts and 30 municipalities, although the districts Einsiedeln, Küssnacht and Gersau simply comprise the municipality of the same name.
Canton of Glarus is not divided into districts: the muncipility is the next lower unit of government.

Its length by carriage road from the Maloja plateau (5935 ft.) at its south-western end to Martinsbruck (3406 ft.) at its north-eastern extremity is about 59 m.
But both the Maloja plateau and the south-western half of the lake of Sils belong to the commune of Stampa in the Val Bregaglia, and are included in the Bregaglia administrative district, so that, from a political point of view, Sils is the first village that is included in the Engadine.
The Maloja (593~ ft.) is the route from Chiavenna and the Lake of Como to the Upper Engadine, which is also reached from Coire by the Julier (7504 ft.) and the Albula Passes (~5g5 ft.) as well as from Tirano in the Valtellina by the Bernina Pass (7645 ft.).

It is well situated on the right bank of the Mera, at the mouth of the Val Bregaglia, through which the road to the Maloja Pass and the Engadine runs to the east.
Chiavenna is crowned by a ruined castle, once an important strategic point, and the seat of the counts who ruled the valley from the time of the Goths till 1194, when the district was handed over to the bishops of Coire.
In the 14th century the Visconti, having become masters of the Valtellina, bought the county (contado or contea) of Chiavenna from the bishop of Coire; but it was taken by the canton of the Grisons in 1523, and the castle dismantled.

The District of the Upper Engadine For the geographer the Upper Engadine begins at the highest point of the Maloja pass, from a historical-political point of view, however, only at the boundary where the district of Bergell begins, which is a line north of Isola running across the lake of Sils.
From this line the district of the Upper Engadine comprises the whole valley of the Inn with its tributaries as far as Punt ota, the High Bridge, between Cinuoschel and Brail.
The geographical importance of the Julier, Maloja, and the Bernina passes, as well as the road through the valley, brought the Upper Engadine many drawbacks during times of upheaval such as the wars in the Grisons.

District of Bergell For the geographer that part of the Bergell belonging to the Grisons commences at the Maloja Pass and ends at the small stream known as the Lovero below Castasegna.
From a historical-political point of view, however, as can clearly be seen from a study of the boundaries of this Italian-speaking district, it goes beyond the Maloja Pass up to the middle of the Lake of Sils, into the Fedoz Valley, and includes the upper part of the Madriser Valley which belongs geographically to Avers.
The fact that the waters of this district flow into three different seas, i.e., the North Sea, the Adriatic, and the Black Sea, is most certainly unique.

 Switzerland Districts
There are maps showing the districts of Switzerland, and of the cantons of Lucerne, Neuchâtel, Schwyz, Valais, and Vaud.
Heinzenberg district merged with Hinterrhein; Münstertal district merged with Inn; Oberlandquart and Unterlandquart districts repartitioned to form Landquart and Prättigau/Davos (probably part of Unterlandquart was removed and attached to Oberlandquart, with the remainder of Unterlandquart becoming Landquart); Glenner and Vorderrhein districts merged to form Surselva.
When the name of a district is the same as the name of a canton, or the capital of a canton, its variant names will also be the same.

 Going into the Mountains - Barry Klaas
From the ancient village of Chiavenna, then up the deep forested valley where the Romans marched, to Maloja which hosts the top of this hanging valley from which ancient glaciers tumbled 1000 or more feet….here you find a paradise…..for the nature lover and mountain lover alike.
The valley to the northeast follows a millenium old sentiero (path or road) on which the Roman centurion soldiers and traders made their way to San Moritz and to the lands to the north.
Maloja is like the cup of a hand, with fingers extending upward forming mountain peaks.

 Dissertation Outline
The region is also known by the political district name Gruob (Glenner), but that implies all three sub-districts are part of it and Val Lumnezia is clearly a separate physical region.
Bregaglia and Engiadin' ota are still in the same judicial district named Maloja, and the Maloja district is unique because it contains all three cantonal languages.
Locals say the En begins at Lake Lunghin just north of Maloja, but the majority of water flowing into the upper En originates from the Bernina group, which is also the major source area for glaciers.
