Description

At the stop "Samnaun-Laret, village," by the birthplace of Pater Maurus Carnot, this themed path begins. First, it goes along Laret and Welschdörfli streets, past the endpoint of the popular descent No. 60 down to the Shell gas station. The leisurely walk then continues along the valley road and then along the stream path, the Schergenbach. The destination in Samnaun-Plan is near: the "Museum Chasa Retica," the oldest house in Samnaun. This dirt path from the Trua Bridge to Plan invites walking and strolling in summer and winter. A total of 17 informative signs present the life of the important Samnauner. The signs are attached to the light poles and, thanks to the lighting, this memorial path can also be visited in the evening.
