Top 5 Caves around Safiental

Here you can discover a once secret facility. The fortress with bunkers and rock caverns offers a glimpse into the time around the Second World War.

Really cool path through the forest. It is very uneven, so you need to be sure-footed.

Super climbing fleas

The large glacial mill is quite unusual: it broke off the bedrock due to a rock fall and is now lying on the slope in such a way that it looks like a cave. An adult can easily stand upright in it. The small, inconspicuous wooden information sign is easily overlooked

Large crevice into which one can descend. According to a legend, the pastor of Vals once had to go up to the village of Zerfreila (which was then flooded by the dam in 1957) to administer the last sacraments to a dying woman. However, the path had been buried by an avalanche and he couldn't continue to the village, but he couldn't go back to Vals either. He had already resigned himself to freezing to death here when it occurred to him that he must be near the "Warma Chracha". In fact, he was able to save himself up to this crevasse. He saw footprints in the snow, but not a soul far and wide, no matter how hard he shouted. Finally he gathered all his courage and climbed down into the crevasse. There he soon came across a wooden board and noticed with astonishment that he was standing by a coffin - the coffin of that dying woman from Zerfreila. Because there was no cemetery in Zerfreila at that time, the coffin should have been transported to Vals, but the pallbearers couldn't get through either and so they deposited the coffin in the warm Chrachä... the priest recognized this quickly and began immediately for them praying for the dead as if he had come in time. The legend is much more extensive in the original :-)

Very refreshing... when you stand in front of the hole, a very, very cold wind blows out... a wonder of nature :)

Lock fortress museum, Trin The main plant of the Trin locking point is an infantry plant (army designation A 7762) in the rocks of Crap Sogn Barcazi and Crap Pign. The plant was built in 1941–1942 as an underground infantry cavern in the rock on three floors connected by 300 steps and tunnels. It was armed with four machine guns and two Lmg 25 light machine guns and could hold a crew of 30. The cable car to the Crap Sogn Barcazi, the only factory cable car in an infantry factory in the canton of Graubünden, was used to transport materials. At Crap Ueara is the shelter A 7761, a natural cave. During World War II, the Swiss army built a fortress in the rock in Trin as well as several bunkers in the vicinity to prevent the enemy from entering the Réduit. Disguised as a waterworks, rock or shed, these were not recognizable. They were kept confidential for over 60 years. Today the once closed doors are open to visitors twice a month. The Trin lock appears in the inventory of combat and command structures as a “lock of national importance”. The guided tour of the fortress takes about 3-4 hours.
