Calanda, Mountain massif in Grisons and St. Gallen, Switzerland

The Calanda is a massif in the Glarus Alps whose ridge runs from the Taminser Calanda (2,389 m) past the Felsberger Calanda (2,695 m) to the Haldensteiner Calanda (2,804 m) and the Berger Calanda (2,270 m). The border between Grisons and St. Gallen follows the crest, with shallow slopes above Chur and steep rock walls dropping to the Tamina valley.

The mountain was mined for gold in previous centuries, particularly at the Goldene Sonne Mine operated in the region. This extraction activity shaped the economic history of the area.

The name Calanda comes from the Latin calare, "to roll down", referring to the rockfalls of the southern face above Felsberg. At Felsberg the local wine is called Goldene Sonne ("Golden Sun"), recalling the gold mine that once worked the southern slope.

The Calandahütte sits at 2,073 meters elevation and offers overnight stays for visitors planning to spend time in the area. It serves as a base camp for different hiking and climbing routes.

The Calanda's name comes from the Latin calare, "to roll down", a reference to the rockfalls that repeatedly reach the Rhine valley floor. A major fall in 1843 threatened Felsberg and led to the settlement of Neudorf being laid out further from the slope. Larger rockfalls occurred again in 2001 and 2002.
