The Brancla is a 16 km long left tributary of the Inn in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . The river flows through the Val Chöglias as well as the Val Sinestra and its side valleys, draining an area of ​​66.4 square kilometers. The Brancla, which is also called Aua Chöglias in its upper course , forms the border between the political communities Scuol (until the end of 2014 municipality Sent ) and Valsot (until the end of 2012 municipality Ramosch ) almost along its entire course .

course

The Brancla rises on the southern slope of the Swiss-Austrian border summit Piz Val Gronda ( 2812  m above sea level ) directly below the Fuorcla Val Gronda and flows mainly in a south-easterly direction. In its upper course it crosses the Val Chöglias , which joins the Val Laver to form the Val Sinestra at Zuort . Only a little later, from about the confluence of the Aval Ruin , the Brancla forms a narrow gorge before it enters the Lower Engadine between Piz Spadla ( 2912  m above sea level ) and Piz Arina ( 2828  m above sea level ) and into the at Ramosch Inn flows.
