Innauen-Weg Samedan–La Punt

The path starts at the Promulins Arena in Samedan near the train station. Following the tracks of the renaturation "Innauen," it leads to La Punt. Initially, the old Inn dam is followed, past the airport and to the Beverin mouth. The Inn itself flows under the cantonal road at the Promulins Arena into the renatured riverbed. At Gravatscha, the Flaz flows into the Inn and is now channeled up to the Beverin mouth. To preserve the natural balance, the Flaz flows into the Inn from the right. This prevented Flaz glacier water from running into the Gravatscha lakes. The inflow was created as part of the Samedan flood protection project with the relocation of the Flaz and renaturation of the old Flaz.

At the Beverin mouth, the route changes from the left to the right riverbank. Here also begins the revitalized Inn section: over about two kilometers, the dams were dismantled and the riverbed expanded. The Inn flows downstream up to 200 meters wide. The works were completed at the end of 2020; however, the Inn has long taken over the construction management and continues to shape the landscape with its floods and high waters. The area is habitat to many endangered animal and plant species. Mobile panels provide year-round information about flora and fauna. The hiking path detours to Isellas and then returns to the Inn bank. It runs directly along the river up to La Punt. From the municipal border to La Punt, the Inn flows again between high dams — straight as an arrow. It is, however, unclear how much longer. There are efforts to free it from its "corset" and to give it more space again. Taking a seat is also worthwhile in the crown of La Punt, where the hike can be ended with a warm drink. From here, there is a regular bus connection back to Samedan.
