Mesocco Castle San Bernardino Castle Mesolcina Calanca The ruins of Mesocco Castle stand on top of an imposing rocky hill that rises steeply from the valley floor. This imposing fortress stands in the center of the valley, forcing the Moesa River into a wide bend in a narrow, impassable gorge, leaving only a narrow passage to the west. Mesocco Castle is protected on three sides by steep cliffs. Only to the northeast, on the upstream side of the valley, does the slope slope more gently. Climbing up the old access road to the castle from the north side, you first reach the Church of St. Maria del Castello and are already on the castle grounds, which were once surrounded by a defensive wall. The impressive ruins consist mainly of the remains of defensive works built in the last decades of the 15th century, i.e., during the final phase of the castle's life. Among them are numerous ruins from earlier eras, so that the castle's current appearance reveals its eventful history, which has its roots in the early Middle Ages.

A reservoir in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, nestled in the impressive mountain landscape of the Viamala and Rheinwald regions. It stretches over a length of approximately two kilometers.

Montespluga SO The mountain village of Montespluga is located at an altitude of 1908 m above sea level at the beginning of the Val San Giacomo (also called Valle Spluga) about three kilometers from the top of the Splügen Pass. The village was built in a depression rich in water and pastures where the Valle Spluga meets the Val Loga, near the border peaks of the area such as the Pizzo Tambo. In 1927, with the construction of the dam wall located about 2 kilometers south of Montespluga, the Torrente Liro was dammed to form the Lago di Montespluga below the village. The village with the few houses, restaurants, hotels and shops on the pass road and the old customs building "La Casa" has hardly changed. Until 1841, the only hospice on the Splügen Pass and the only place of worship, the Chapel of San Francesco d'Assisi, were located here. The latter was consecrated in 1832 after the completion of the new road to the Splügen Pass in 1822. As early as 1767, the apostolic nuncio in Switzerland and later cardinal Luigi Valenti Gonzaga had given permission to set up a small chapel in the hospice. Since the opening of the San Bernardino Tunnel, the pass has no longer been kept open in winter. The village, which consists of three roads (Via Dogana, Via Ferrè and Via Val Loga), can be cut off from both Italy and Switzerland. Montespluga is the starting point for numerous hiking, mountaineering and ski touring destinations in the surrounding mountains and a stop on the cross-border long-distance hiking trail Via Spluga.

Splügen is a beautiful town on the Via Spluga

Beautiful gorge...the trail can be very slippery in wet weather...

Short rest before the pass climb

Mesocco itself is one of the largest castle complexes in Switzerland. In addition to various ruins located on the slopes outside the town, there are excellent intact remains of the castle and the Romanesque church of Santa Maria. It's worth a visit slowly.
