Jakobsweg (Nr. 43): Guarda – Ardez

Leisurely hike along the Way of St. James between the two mountaineering villages of Guarda and Ardez

Your hike begins in the mountaineering village of "Guarda", the well-known "Schellen-Ursli-Dorf", which lies on a sunny terrace high above the Inn. Typical Engadine architecture, local products and the history of Schellen-Ursli give the village a very special charm.

On a road with little traffic, you first hike almost flat to the hamlet of Bos-cha. On the way you can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding mountain landscape. The route then leads you gently down the same road to Ardez, one of the best-preserved Engadine villages, which is known for its traditional Romanesque building culture. Even from afar, the striking castle ruins catch the eye - an impressive end to the hike.

Visit the well-preserved Schellen-Ursli House (Chasa 51), which can be visited from the outside. Information about the Schellen-Ursli experiences can be found online at engadin.com/schellen-ursli. Village tours in Lavin, Ardez and Guarda offer exciting insights into the mountaineering villages and their stories.
