Val Calanca

The main villages are (from north to south): Rossa, Cauco, Selma, Arvigo, Buseno and Santa Maria in Calanca.

The only major industry in the Val Calanca is a quarry, producing 10,000 cubic metres of Gneiss per year.

In Rossa, archeologists discovered 1 kilometer of dry stone walls of a settlement called scatta from the 16th century.

Avalanche barriers from stone are being replaced with 4 m high steel constructions anchored up to 8 m in the ground there.

At the Alp di Stabveder, a grey goat typical for teh valley was preserved.
