Viamala Gorge
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Top contributor and drone pilot probeat1 brings us this spectacular aerial view of a famous river gorge in Switzerland. It's called Viamala, and it lies along a stretch of the Hinterrhein River (a Rhine tributary) in the Canton of Grisons. Going back to Roman times, the narrowness of the gorge represented a serious obstacle to approaching two different key mountain passes in the region. In the 18th and 19th centuries, a series of infrastructure investments have made the gorge useable for both foot and wheeled traffic.

In this part of my Viamala video trilogy you can see recordings from the area of the Viamala Gorge accessible to visitors, but from unusual perspectives. The first half shows the gorge area below the Wildener bridge from 1739, past the "white giant", the big boulder in the heart of the gorge up to the entrance of the narrow gallery of the visitor area. In the second half of this film you will find impressions taken below this walk-in gallery. Further information can be found at: https://www.viamala-schlucht.ch
