Rheinschlucht and Dinner in Chur

Brief description:
Starting in Valendas, this route takes us through the spectacular “Rheinschlucht” towards Trin. Around 6.7km, we reach the "Il Spir" viewing platform, which treats us to breathtaking views. As we continue, we pass a picnic area where we can have our lunch break. This section provides a good look at the characteristic landscape of the Flims gorge, including the river, steep rock walls, and surrounding forests. Near the end of the route (at 14.7 km), we arrive at "Ustria Trin Staziun."

Optional: On our way back, we can visit the beautiful Old Town of Chur and have dinner there.
