Viamala Gorge

The imposing Viamala Gorge with its two historic bridges
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, there are still living traces of a fascinating history to be discovered in the Viamala Gorge.

From the visitor center, 359 steps lead down into the depths of the gorge. Whirlpools, smooth rock faces up to 300 m high and the colors 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.
