Description

The Transviamala Curta running experience starts in Thusis and leads on the old road through the "lost hole" to Rongellen. After this first juicy ascent, you leave the road and walk along the "viaSpluga" towards the Viamala Gorge. This section of the route promises stepped climbs, single-trail rock bands, and breathtaking views of the gorge. The Viamala Gorge is crossed on the bridges known from many illustrations. From here it is a constant up and down like a cross-country run, which takes you up to Reischen in intensive climbs. This section holds one of the most impressive experiences: After a steep ascent in a dark wooded area, the wide and open Schamsertal suddenly opens up! After the descent to Zillis, the route leads past the famous St. Martin's Church of Zillis and leads the runner on the ViaSpluga directly to Donat.

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.
