The Tectonic Arena Sardona offers a unique view into the formation of alpine mountains and valleys. The collision of Africa and Europe caused the Alps to tower up over millions of years.

Ancient rock layers folded, fractured and were thrust on top of each other. A rich variety of evidence and traces of this enormous force are remarkably visible in the World Heritage Sardona.

For more than two centuries scientists from around the world have studied the geologic structures and processes of mountain formation. In the Tectonic Arena Sardona they attempted to solve the secrets of the emergence of mountains.

Die kesselförmig eingefasste Schwemm-Ebene Plaun Segnas Sut - der untere Segnesboden wurde 1996 ins nationale Inventar der Flachmoore von besonderer Schönheit und Bedeutung aufgenommen. Sie ist 1,7 km lang und bis 450 m breit und liegt in 2100 m Höhe.
Ein grosses Flachmoor nimmt rund die Hälfte dieses Schwemmbodens ein, während ein Mosaik von Bächen, Kiesbettfluren, Quell- und Moosfluren, Schneetälchengesellschaften sowie alpinen Rasen die übrige Fläche auszeichnet.

The Bargis mountain valley is located between the Flimserstein and Piz Mirutta, close to the Ringelspitz, which is traversed by the Aua da Mulins stream that rises from the Trinserhorn or Piz Dolf. At Bargis, it flows into the Aua da Lavadignas, and a little further on the Aua da Mulins opens out into the Turniglabach. The Bargis glacier modelled the valley of the same name, and since then has gradually retreated. Behind the Stutz rock barrier there was once a lake that contained melted glacier water. It was then filled with glacial milk and tiny pebbles that carved the Turnigla canyon.

Below the Flimserstein is a huge karst system, through which part of the water from the drainage basin flowed, swelling into springs between Vallorca and Trin Mulin. It is believed that water flows from this karst system towards the adjacent system of Vorab-Sur Crap-Lag Tiert. The water meanders over the surface of the Bargis flood plain, caulked with fine particles, to create a striking landscape.
