Wandern einmal anders: Nicht in die luftigen Bergeshöhen geht die Reise, sondern mitten hinein in die Zivilisation, in die Dörfer, Alpenstädte und entlang der großen Routen. Dorthin, wo gebaut wird, wo bemerkenswerte zeitgenössische Architektur entstanden ist und wo auch die alten Baudenkmäler stehen. Es sind »Besichtigungswanderungen« durch die architektonisch reich bestückten Bündner Talschaften. Himmelsleiter und Felsentherme, hrsg. von Köbi Gantenbein, Marco Guetg und Ralph Feiner, erfüllt den Anspruch einer umfassenden Darstellung zeitgenössischer Architektur der letzten 25 Jahre in Graubünden.
