Ruinaulta, also known as the Rhine Gorge, is a canyon in the canton of Graubünden (Grisons), Switzerland, carved by the Anterior Rhine between the villages of Ilanz/Glion and Reichenau. It was formed by the prehistoric Flims rockslide, which blocked the river and eventually gave rise to the present-day gorge. The Ruinaulta extends for about 14 kilometres and is characterised by white cliffs, forested slopes, quiet lakes, and varied habitats supporting a diversity of plant and bird life. It can be explored on foot, over water, or by bicycle, and the Rhaetian Railway passes through the gorge, with stations at Valendas-Sagogn and Versam-Safien. Ruinaulta lies within the Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona, which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
