Canyons in Graubünden

The Rhine Gorge in Graubünden is one of the most impressive natural landscapes in Switzerland. Stand on the Il Spir viewing platform, hike along the Rhine or ride the Rhaetian Railway through the gorge.

Bringing the history to life in the Tamina Gorge. This is the source of the 36.5° C warm thermal waters that have made Bad Ragaz world famous.

Inspired by the Niagara Falls and created over seven years of painstaking manual labour: the rock gallery of the Roffla Gorge.

From the Lower Engadine one passes through Val d’Uina (Uina Gorge) to reach the Vinschgau Valley. The hiking trail, which is partly carved into the rock, is especially popular among avid hikers.

Crossing the Schin Gorge between Tiefencastel, Alvaschein and Sils in Domleschg was not for nervous travellers.

Descend 359 steps into the Viamala Gorge in Graubünden. Below you stand in front of 300-meter-high rock faces, rock cirques formed by the water and the roaring Hinterrhein. Historic bridges and paths tell of the time of the muleteers.

The geological formation in the Clemgia Gorge with its green serpentine interspersions is particularly fascinating. The narrow trail wends its way above the Clemgia up to the end of the gorge, leading alternately through mixed forests and across craggy Bündnerschiefer (slate formations typical of Graubünden).

The Blenio Valley in Upper Ticino is a typical Ticino mountain valley. Densely forested mountain slopes rise majestically above the sunny valley floors far below.
