Safien Valley

[1] The valley was settled by German speaking Walser people in the late 13th century, and today has a population of just above 1,000.

Historically economically used by Romansh speakers without settlements, the inner part of the valley was settled by German speaking Walser people in the late 13th century.

Every two years Art Safiental takes place, inviting artists to participate to a theme.

The mountains on the much steeper eastern flank of the valley reach roughly 3000 Meters (Bruschghorn, Piz Beverin).

The western side of the valley is less steep but reaches 2900 meters at Piz Tomül in the southwestern part and Piz Fess in its northern pert as well.
