The ascent from the pass village of Splügen to Safierberg pass is not a walk in the park. The zig-zag descent to the unspoilt Safien Valley is also steep. You should keep your eyes peeled in Beverin Nature Park, home of the ibex. Also worth a look: the church at Thalkirch and the Safien Heritage Museum in Camanaboda.
