Description

The Transviamala Curta running experience starts in Thusis and leads along the old road through the “Lost Hole” to Rongellen. After this first steep climb, you leave the road and run along the “viaSpluga” towards the Viamala Gorge. This section promises steep ascents, single trails along rock bands, and breathtaking views into the gorge. The Viamala Gorge is crossed on the bridges known from many pictures. From there, it is a constant up and down like a cross-country run, which takes you on intense climbs all the way up to Reischen. This section offers one of the most impressive experiences: After a steep climb in a dark wooded area, the wide and open Schamser valley suddenly opens up! After the descent to Zillis, the route passes by the famous St. Martin's Church in Zillis and leads the runner directly to Donat on the ViaSpluga.

Bridge Viamala

Pùnt da Suransuns

Narrow and straightforward, this bridge is part of the hiking trail network - for once not over the abyss of the Viamala, but directly over the Rhine, which rests here in a shimmering blue bay before plunging further through the gorge.

Museum Viamala

Exhibition Church of St. Martin

Since summer 1993, the permanent exhibition on the world-famous Romanesque picture ceiling of St Martin's Church has been located on the main street in Zillis (a 5-minute walk from the church). It is worth visiting the exhibition first and then the church.
