The Val Plattas is a right side valley of the Val Medel in the Swiss canton of Graubünden .
The valley lies in the area of the municipality of Medel (Lucmagn) and is traversed by the Rein da Plattas from south to north-northwest . The stream is fed by the Medelser glacier and flows into the Rein da Medel at the lower end of the valley near Curaglia . The southern end is the Piz Medel ( 3210 m above sea level ). To the west, Piz Ault ( 2470 m ) separates the valley from Val Medel. The Piz Muraun ( 2896 m ) rises to the east and Piz Caschleglia ( 2935 m ) to the south .
In the lower part of the valley there are several small hamlets, Soliva ( 1492 m ) on the north slope above the valley exit, Biscuolm ( 1543 m ) with a small chapel, Alp Gliarauns ( 1507 m ) and Pardatsch ( 1621 m ). They are all accessible with driveways. The Alp Sura ( 1982 m ) further south can only be reached on foot. The popular hiking destination Medelserhütte ( 2524 m ) is located above Alp Sura to the east at Fuorcla da Lavaz, the transition into Val Lavaz and Val Sumvitg . A western transition from the Alp Sura to the Medelsertal is the Fuorcla dalla Buora ( 2292 m ) south of the Piz Ault, which leads to Fuorns. The level of the Alp Sura is at least partially recorded in the federal inventory of the floodplain areas of national importance (as a glacier foreland ) and in the federal inventory of the fens of national importance. A considerable part of the Val Plattas also belongs to the Greina-Piz Medel protected area (since 1996) recorded in the federal inventory of landscapes and natural monuments of national importance . Parts of the valley are also a hunting ban area and game rest zone .
