Alvaschein/Alvaschagn

Southeast of the village, on a rocky plateau above the dammed Albula at the entrance to the Schin Gorge, is the most famous sight of the village in a lonely location: the monastery church of St. Peter in Mistail, built around 800 or a little earlier. It is the oldest and best preserved of the type of the Rhaetian three-apse hall.

In the village of Alvaschein there is a house with façade paintings created around 1600 by Hans Ardüser (1557-1614), village school teacher in Lantsch/Lenz, who travelled through Graubünden as a wandering painter every summer around 1600.

The villagescape of Alvaschein/Alvaschagn was awarded as a "townscape of national importance".

Also worth seeing are the RhB Solis Viaduct and the old Solis Bridge, both of which lead over the Albula at dizzying heights, as well as the lowest part of the reservoir, which is accessible via the power plant entrance.
