Description

From the PostAuto stop Guarda, cumün, the path first leads through the very well-preserved Engadin village of Guarda. The beautiful houses and alleys inspired Selina Chönz and Alois Carigiet to create their children's book Schellen-Ursli, which brought the village the Henri-Louis Wakker Prize in 1975. Staying at the same altitude, the path continues to the hamlet Bos-cha. After Bos-cha, the ascent begins to Munt, above Ardez. From the high-level path around Munt, you enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding peaks and the Lower Engadin. The descent leads directly to Ardez. Like Guarda, Ardez is also an intact Engadin village with an award-winning village center.

Hidden Gem

The descent from Munt to Ardez is steadily and evenly sloping, which is why it is worthwhile to bring a sled for the final descent to Ardez on this hike.
