Albula, a pass and mountain stream in the Swiss canton of Grisons. The pass (elevation, 7595 feet) is a marshy plateau, three-fourths of a mile long, with granite and limestone summits towering on either side of it. The stream rises close by, and after a course of 20 miles, broken by numerous picturesque waterfalls, it joins a tributary of the Rhine.
