Description

Lantsch/Lenz is the gateway to Parc Ela, the largest nature park in Switzerland. Passing the mountain huts of Tschividains, the route leads to the chapel of Son Cassian. The "La Tor" house, a medieval customs station, is still a reminder of the importance of Lantsch/Lenz as a port station on the Septimerweg. Prehistoric finds at the "Bot da Loz" hill and the church of St. Mary with its wrought-iron grave crosses are further cultural highlights, as is the Carolingian church of St. Peter Mistail (Alvaschein). At the confluence of the Julia and Albula rivers, Via Sett crosses the former customs bridge to Tiefencastel.
