Details

Description

After leaving the village heading west, the wide road ascends slightly. At the next signpost, the path turns left and mostly runs flat in the sun along the snowy south-facing slope before it becomes steep shortly before the Chauennas farm. Benches along the path offer resting places and views of the snowy Lower Engadine Dolomites and the Inn in the valley floor. At the Chauennas farm, where you can buy farm honey, cheese, meat, and sheepskins, trees and bushes line the path. It then continues slightly downhill to Scuol, where at the hospital at the PostAuto stop a free sport bus takes guests back to the village of Scuol or to the station.


In places, the hike is steep and includes downhill sections. Those who want to shorten the hike can take the left path junction after the Chauennas farm and take the PostAuto on the main road towards Scuol (half-hourly connection).

Hidden Gem

It is recommended to take a few minutes in Sent and stroll through the village with its spacious squares.

The path is prepared after every snowfall. Please observe condition reports in the winter sports report. The route was rated under favorable weather conditions; current snow and weather conditions must be considered before starting.


Note: The path partly runs on the sledding trail - please walk at the edge of the trail.
