About agriculture in Schiers

Schiers is located in the Prättigau valley within the canton of Grisons, Switzerland. The town is surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Rhaetian Alps, with the Landquart river flowing through the valley floor. The rural landscape is characterized by steep slopes, lush green meadows, and dense coniferous forests that transition into high-altitude alpine pastures.

Agriculture in this mountain region focuses primarily on livestock farming and dairy production. Local farms manage cattle, goats, and sheep, utilizing the valley floor for hay production in the summer and moving herds to higher mountain pastures (alps) during the warmer months. There is also some specialized cultivation of mountain crops and fruit orchards on the sunnier slopes of the valley.

For agronomists and seasonal workers, the area offers opportunities mainly related to alpine farming and dairy management. Demand peaks during the summer months for hay harvesting and mountain pasture maintenance. Workers can expect a traditional Alpine work environment where modern agricultural techniques are adapted to challenging topography and strict quality standards for Swiss dairy products.
