Thusis belongs to the Viamala region in the Grisons. It lies at 720 meters above sea level and owes its foundation to the construction and securing of the Rhine bridge. The town also benefited from the construction of the passage through the Viamala Gorge. The Viamala Gorge as the most important sight near Thusis attracts tourists from all over the world. The Albula line of the Rhaetian Railway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has a stop in Thusis. The historic hiking trail Via Spluga is also of touristic importance. It leads over the Splügen Pass from Thusis to Chiavenna (Italy).

“Perfect for beginners and the first canyoning adventure. We had a lot of fun—a fantastic guided tour through the gorge with stunning nature and impressively tall cliffs. Highly recommended! And watch out for the meeting point! Don’t follow the Google link on this page.”

“We really enjoyed our visit yesterday - 3 August 2026. It was an interesting tour of the information exhibition, and of course, the chocolate tasting was a perfect way to end it. We recommend it to others and maybe one day you'll come for the workshop as well. We wish the Cailler team continued success in creating delicious chocolates. Adi, Daniela, and Kristbjörg, the two models from Iceland.”
“Peeking behind doors that are usually closed off is fascinating.”
