Safiental

Safiental’s surrounding terrain is marked by steep Alpine slopes, forests and high pastures, which have shaped both its scattered settlement pattern and cattle farming. The Rabiusa flows through this long side valley before joining the Vorderrhein near Versam, and the lower valley meets the Rhine Gorge, known locally as Ruinaulta. Walser settlers established communities here during the Middle Ages, leaving a lasting imprint on the German-speaking valley and its traditional timber farmhouses. Today, the municipality brings together the former communes of Safien, Tenna, Versam and Valendas, connecting hamlets from the valley floor to mountain terraces.
