twintowns = |Samnaun (Romansh: "Samignun") is a municipality in the district of Inn in the Swiss canton of
Graubünden .In the 19th century, Samnaun could only be reached by road from
Spiss in Austria. Thus Samnaun was excluded from the Swiss customs territory, and retains a privileged 'duty-free' status, albeit not without controversy, in the twenty-first century. The exception was maintained even after a road was built in 1905 linking Samnaun to Martina in the Inn valley.Uniquely within Switzerland, the form of German spoken by the residents of Samnaun is a version of the Bavarian dialect.
