Celerina/Schlarigna (German/Italian Celerina; Romansh ) is a municipality in the Maloja Region in the Swiss canton of the Grisons.
==History== thumb|left|Celerina c. 1870, with the hamlet Cresta on the left. Etching by commons:Category:Johann Heinrich Müller (1825-1894)|Heinrich Müller Celerina/Schlarigna was first mentioned in 1313 as Schellarin and in 1320 as Celarina. In 1631, a fire destroyed 43 houses. From the 1860s onwards, tourism became more and more important to the village. The Cresta Run opened in 1884, the St. Moritz-Celerina Olympic Bobrun in 1904 and the cable car to Saluver in 1958. In the course of the 20th century, the population structure of the originally Romansh-speaking farming village underwent radical change, with people moving to the thriving resort from the German-speaking part of Switzerland and also from Italy.
