Visit the Viamala Gorge and experience this impressive monument up close. A worthwhile excursion destination even in bad weather!

Carved into the solid rock thousands of years ago by glacial ice and the waters of the Hinterrhein, the Viamala Gorge still bears living traces of a fascinating history.

From the visitor centre, 359 steps lead down into the depths of the gorge. Whirlpools, smooth rock faces up to 300 m high and the colours of the water leave a strong impression of natural beauty. Spectacular bridge constructions - such as the Wildener Bridge from 1739 and the new Conzett bridges ‘Pùnts da tgavorgias’ - offer an insight into the craft of bridge builders past and present.
