Rheinwald

Rheinwald is best known within Grisons for the Splügen Pass, an historic Alpine route between Switzerland and Italy. The upper Hinterrhein follows this broad, high valley, with the Rheinwaldhorn massif rising above its southern side and the villages of Nufenen, Medels, Splügen and Hinterrhein set along the road. For centuries the pass channelled travellers and goods south towards Chiavenna, making Splügen an important stopping place on transalpine journeys. Medieval Walser settlement left a lasting mark on the valley’s German-speaking culture and traditional built environment.
