Details

Description

The Schellen-Ursli route starts in the village of Guarda and leads along the sledding slope up to the clearing "Plan dal Növ". 


Along the way, you can read the first half of the Schellen-Ursli children's book on large panels. Upon reaching "Plan dal Növ," the alpine hut awaits with the entire book and the story can be finished.


For the return, we recommend sledding as Schellen-Ursli himself experienced it.  


Sleds can be rented at Hotel Meisser in Guarda.
