Imposing view along the Rhine Gorge and also very beautiful in winter. It pays to get up early to be there before the crowds!

Ruinaulta Rhine Gorge
The Ruinaulta or Rhine Gorge is a gorge of up to 400 meters deep and around 13 kilometers long in the Vorderrhein between Ilanz and the mouth of the Hinterrhein near Reichenau in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. The Rhaeto-Romanic name 'Ruinaulta' is composed of the two words Ruina (scree, quarry) and aulta (high).
The Ruinaulta was formed after the Flims landslide almost 10,000 years ago. At that time, more than 10 billion cubic meters of rock broke off between the Flimserstein and the Piz Grisch and buried the Vorderrheintal between today's villages of Castrisch and Reichenau under a mass of rubble several hundred meters thick.
Since the Vorderrhein could no longer drain off, a lake was dammed up over a length of around 25 km. Over time, the river cut deep into the landslide masses and the resulting lake was able to drain off completely. What remained was the Ruinaulta with its steep limestone cliffs in imposing erosion formations.

A special natural spectacle, how such a lake embedded in the mountain landscape

Breathtaking views of the Rhine Gorge open up again and again along the entire route. Plenty of benches are also available.

Incredible views, but only for those who are free from giddiness.
