Stage 6: Rhine hike: Ilanz - Reichenau

From Ilanz, the route follows the Vorderrhein through a floodplain of national importance into the heart of the gorge to Versam Station. The Rhine Gorge is characterized by sandstone walls up to 300 metres high. The “Swiss Grand Canyon” offers unforgettable fauna and flora. As there is no continuous hiking trail between Versam-Safien station and Trin station, this section must be covered on the Rhaetian Railway. From Trin station, the route continues on foot. The trail leads along the riverbank to Reichenau, where the Vorderrhein and Hinterrhein rivers meet.

Hint

There is no hiking trail between Versam-Safien station and Trin station for nature conservation reasons. This section must either be covered by the Rhaetian Railway or walked in approx. 2.5 hours via Pintrun and Trin Digg.
