ABSTRACT

The slope movement phenomenon named the Sedrun Landslide is located in eastern Switzerland, namely in the western part of the Canton of Graubünden, in the higher stretch of the Vorderrhein valley. It takes place in the rock slope called Cuolm da Vi overlooking the villages of Sedrun and Camischolas which form part of the community of Tujetsch. The unstable area extends between the Val Strem valley to the west, which deeply intersects the mountain range limiting the northern slope of the Rhine valley, and the temporary Drun Tobel creek to the east (Fig. 8.1).
