Valley of the river Rhine and Ilanz

I L A N Z the first city at the river Rhine lies in the middle of the SURSELVA and is all-year attainable. Also the " Glacier-Express " stops here on its way to St.Moritz or Zermatt. Directly in front of the railway station start several post busses into the ski - and traveling-areas of our region like Flims/Laax, Brigels, Obersaxen, Lugnez, Vals and of course also into the less known, but beautiful valleys of the Surselva, like Safien or to Panix.

ILANZ lies centrally and well. Not only as vacation-place but also as market-place. Shopping centers like COOP, MIGROS or DENNER covers our everyday necessity, beautiful small shops, cafés and restaurants invite to the stroll and linger.

The famous SCARNUZ GRISCHUN comes from the region of the Surselva and is produced with much love of farmers based on old house-recipes. An ideal gift or small present from Grisons.
Ilanz is like already mentions also market-place where several times a year take place livestock - and merchandise-markets. Certainly interesting for people, that have not yet experienced something similar....
Also worth seeing is the old part of town with many historical buildings.

The REGIONAL-MUSEUM of the Surselva in the CASA CARNIEC shows collections worth seeing of workshops from last centuries, a kitchen with house-advice, toys, aspirations, clothes and loom rooms, agriculture-appliances, threshing floor.....
Crystal-collection in the cellar-vault, extensive craft-places and a complete alp cottage, paintings from the 16. century and much more. Also one of restored and playable organ from our home Riedi-Castelberg in Castrisch, therefore from our predecessors. If you want, they make guided tours.

For the creature comforts is provided also well. In and surround Ilanz, there are restaurants specialties with Swiss and Grisons cooking, just as the quite normal and so good plain and home cooking up to the international especially fine culinary art.

The PIZZERIA CRISTALLINA with a beautiful garden-terrace is our destination if we want to eat a real good pizza in comfortable and groomed atmosphere. Swiss cooking and excellent Italian specialties to favorable prices ...the way to Laax is it worth!
