The beautiful viaSpluga, which links the two
towns, passes through spectacular natural
landscapes – not least the narrow Viamala
gorge with its 300-metre walls, and the wild
Cardinello gorge. It also takes in many nationally
and internationally important cultural sites
along the way, in cluding the prehistoric rock
carvings of Carschenna, the medieval painted
ceiling of the church of St.Martin in Zillis, and
the unspoilt villages of Andeer and Splügen.
Ideally, allow four days to walk the whole
route; special packages are available which include
the onward transport of your luggage
from one hotel to the next.
How to get there:
Drive or take public transportation from Chur to Thusis.
