The Via Spluga connects Thusis in Graubünden, Switzerland with Chiavenna in Italy via the Splügen Pass (Italian: Passo dello Spluga). It has a length of about 75 km. Natural beauty, like the Viamala gorge and cultural heritage (e.g. the church of Zillis) make for a very diverse multi-day hike.
UnderstandThe trail used to be one of the most important mountain passes in the Alps for many centuries.
PrepareThe towns and villages on the route have hotels and inns. There are also some campsites and mountain huts. Plan your route and book accommodation before you start.
