Rona, Switzerland


Rona is a village and former in Switzerland situated beside the river Gelgia. The village consists of three parts, the old lower village, the upper village and the new lower village.
There is a church in the upper village and two pubs/restaurants in the old lower village. The village used to be a municipality on its own. It was then part of Tinizong-Rona after merging with Tinizong in 1998 and later became part of the Surses administrative area.
The valley in which the village lies was chosen as the site of a hydroelectric dam but, following local protest, the village was spared and the dam moved upstream to Mamorera.
