Top 20 Gorges around Medel (Lucmagn)

Beautifully far from the road and a primeval landscape. But quite steep for hiking.

This area was hit by a rockfall on March 14, 2016: In the morning and all day of March 14, 2016, rockfalls were observed from the western flank of the Cuolm da Vi. At 6:00 p.m. a large forward fall was noticed. At 7:50 p.m. the large mass of rock broke away. In the valley floor the flow of debris buried the stream bed and slid on the 1 m thick layer of snow about 1.3 km out of the valley. The mass of rockfall of about 250,000 m' destroyed all spring catchments and wells in the Val Strem. In addition, the water catchment and part of the reservoir of the Val Strem power plant were destroyed. The fall lasted about 15 minutes. There was no danger to the population. The damage amounted to about CHF 10 million. The Val Strem has been completely closed to all passage since then.

The Val Sumvitg 🌄 in Graubünden is a beautiful valley, ideal for hiking and nature experiences. It offers picturesque hiking trails through dense forests, flowering meadows and along clear mountain streams 🌿. Highlights include the Aclettabach waterfall 🌊 and the idyllic Lag da Runcahez.

Very impressive section of the Leventina. A small detour that is also highly recommended by bike instead of using the main road.

You can now buy a day ticket from the reservoir to the alp for CHF 8 (SMS or EasyPark app). This saves about 30-45 minutes on foot and is worth it if you want to hike the Greina in one day. In summer, because of the grazing of the cows and cattle, damage to the car cannot be ruled out. The path is also not intended for expensive or low-slung vehicles 😉.

This gorge is located in the middle of the plateau

The Piottino Gorge flows through the Ticino River and separates Alta Leventina from the Media Leventina with a difference in altitude of about 150 meters. The gorge was always a major obstacle on the Gotthard road, as it is very narrow and surrounded by high rocks. So it was only at the end of the 14th century that a mule track ran through the gorge. The Gotthardbahn company built to overcome the caused by the Piottino gorge height difference, the two spiral tunnels Freggio and Prato.
