Description

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" – the quote from former US President Theodore Roosevelt aptly describes Rheinwald agriculture over the centuries.

The Rheinwald has always concentrated on livestock farming. While the focus used to be on cattle breeding, Rheinwald's farms now rely on organic. The finest products are made from milk and meat. Various cheeses and Graubünden meat specialities are offered in all villages.

Do not miss the opportunity and enjoy the fine organic products on site.

At the guest information in Splügen you will receive the free brochure (MiniGuide), which provides exciting information about the seven locations and/or properties.

Any hiking trail closures/restrictions or diversions can be found here.
