Description

The route starts on a gently ascending road just outside Sent (1,440 m above sea level). The path first follows a tree-lined avenue heading east. From the PostAuto stop Sent, Tschern (service stopped in winter; caution, the path is closed from here in case of avalanche danger) the path continues relatively flat but with some curves along the road through the forest to Hotel Val Sinestra. The former spa house is nestled in the steep slopes of the valley where the Brancla river has deeply cut into the earth over centuries. It is worth a look inside the hotel, as the whole building still presents itself in the architectural style of the early 20th century. Slightly below the former spa house, directly on the river, is the associated mountain inn. The same way leads back to Sent (from Sent half-hourly connections back to Scuol). There are various route options in Sent from the end of the dream slope.

Hidden Gem

In Sent it is worth taking a few minutes to walk through the village with its inviting squares and look up towards the sky.

Safety Note

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

Caution:

Attraction Engadin Samnaun Val Müstair

Stron spring

The water of the Stron spring was tapped and flowed into a separate basin at the fountain of the same name. Unfortunately, there has been no mineral water flowing anymore for some time now. In all probability it has found a new way (underground) and is therefore considered to have dried up.
