Hiking
The Roffla Gorge winds daringly along the A13 national highway between the towns of Andeer and Splügen. It's hard to imagine that it had to be painstakingly rebuilt by hand by Christian Melchior Pitschen at the beginning of the 20th century to be accessible to tourists. At the foot of the Roffla Gorge, the inn of the same name invites you to linger and experience history in the museum.

The central part of the inn was built in 1632. Essentially, it was a residential building where the living room also served as a guest room.
Another important date is 1885 when the then owner Andreas Melchior enlarged the stable and added a dining room. As the inn was not profitable, Christian Pietschen Melchior emigrated to America in 1890. He returned in 1901, took over the inn and began planning a rock gallery in the gorge. The work was carried out from 1907 to 1914.
