What began as the Flims landslide has become a unique backdrop for the Rhine. Between Ilanz and Reinchenau a 10,000 year old path has been carved by the Rhine, forming an unforgettable rock formation. This area is called the Swiss Grand Canyon, and is admired by train passengers, hikers, bikers, kayakers, and river rafters from around the world.
