Guided tours of the command bunker Alvaneu

Helpful facts

Built in the early 1960s at the time of the Cold War. the top-secret, well-hidden and rock-protected bunker Alvaneu served as the command center of the "Border Brigade 12" and Mountain Division 12 and was the military center in the strategic center of the canton of Grisons. Exhibitions and sights Access to the bunker is gained through a 180 m long gallery, which serves as an exhibition room. There, important stations of the explosive period during the Cold War with the iron curtain are shown. In the bunker - buried 200 m deep in the rock, fully equipped, nuclear safe and protected against the use of chemical weapons - you as a visitor will experience impressively how the command staff of up to 90 people could live and work well protected for up to 60 days completely autonomously at that time. Thanks to a multimedia presentation and a simulation game with "augmented reality", interested visitors gain exciting impressions of the threat situation in Graubünden at that time and can develop military strategies themselves. The special exhibition "Civilian Telephony" shows how communication has developed from the early days to the present day - over 1400 exhibits of civilian telephony from Switzerland and around the world are on display in the former officers' wing.
