The Safien Valley (Safiental) is an alpine valley of the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland, branching off the Vorderrhein valley. Part of the Surselva district, it comprises the municipality of Safiental, which was created from the four former municipalities of Valendas, Versam, Tenna and Safien on 1 January 2013.[1] The valley was settled by German speaking Walser people in the late 13th century, and today has a population of just above 1,000.
