Via Spluga, Historic alpine trail between Thusis and Chiavenna, Switzerland and Italy
The Via Spluga extends for 70 kilometers across the Swiss and Italian Alps, featuring mountain paths, gorges, and forests from Thusis to Chiavenna.
The route served as a primary trading passage between northern and southern Europe since Roman times, with merchants transporting goods across the Splügen Pass.
The trail connects Swiss alpine communities with Italian settlements, passing through traditional villages, ancient churches, and regions known for local customs and gastronomy.
This moderate-level hiking path operates from June to October, requiring good physical condition to complete the four main stages over multiple days.
The path includes distinctive engineering elements such as the marble bridges, avalanche galleries, and the Traversinersteg suspension bridge in the Naturpark Beverin.
