Description

Often hikers only cross the famous Greina or the even more famous Rhine Gorge. On this multi-day route, you experience both natural phenomena. From the very top down to the bottom.

The route starts with an adventurous ride from Rabius-Surrein train station with the alpine bus into Val Sumvitg. After one hour of walking in, you climb sweatily uphill to the Terrihütte, your first overnight place.

The second day begins with the suspension bridge "Punt la Greina". After crossing it, you may now hike to Diesrut Pass, from where you get a particularly beautiful view of the famous Greina plateau. Then you go downhill to Puzzatsch. Here you have the option to take the alpine bus to Vrin. Or you take the approximately one-hour walk on foot to Vrin or Sogn Giusep, your next overnight destination.

The third day is shaped by the climb to Péz Sezner and the well-known ridge walk to Piz Mundaun – one of the probably best panorama points in Surselva. Either you take the mountain railway down to Cuolm Sura or hike within about one hour to the same place. Here, a simple hotel room awaits you.

The fourth day begins with the descent to Ilanz, the first town on the Rhine. This part can also be done with the postbus from Surcuolm. From Ilanz, the known hiking trail leads deeper and deeper into the Rhine Gorge. Until in the end you stand underneath sandstone cliffs up to 300 meters high. The Rhaetian Railway then brings you back to the starting point in Rabius-Surrein.

Attention: Road closure in Val Sumvitg

Due to a landslide in the section near Acla Mulin, the road from Acla Mulin has been closed to all traffic. The Val Sumvitg alpine bus operates from/to the replacement stop (Suspension Bridge - Acla Mulin). The hiking time is extended by about 40 minutes towards Greina. Pedestrians can always access the rear Val Sumvitg and the Greina plateau via the Acla Mulin suspension bridge.

The duration of the closure is currently unknown.

At the Surrein, Val stop, there is also a restaurant. Please note the limited parking availability on site.
