Ilanz (Romansch Glion) is a municipality in the district of Surselva in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.
It is the first town on the Rhine—the Rhine headwaters gather here to become the valley of the Vorderrhein.
Illanz is the market town of the surrounding area. Ilanz also is the nearest major town of the Weisse Arena ski resort situated just further up the valley. In Ilanz are the major train station, large supermarket and nearest hospital of the area.
Ilanz is situated in a fork of the Surselva and the Vrin/ Vals valley, which is split by Piz Mundaun. The neighbouring villages of Ruschein and Ladir are accessed from Ilanz, as well as Vrin, Vals and Obersaxen.
