Details

Description

The tour begins on a slightly ascending road from Sent (1,440 m above sea level). The trail first leads eastwards along an avenue of trees. From the PostBus stop at Sent, Tschern (service is suspended in winter; beware, the trail is closed from here in case of avalanche danger), the trail leads relatively flat but with a few bends along the road through the forest to the Hotel Val Sinestra. The former spa hotel is nestled in the steep slopes of the valley, where the Brancla river has eaten deep into the earth's surface over centuries. A look inside the hotel is worthwhile, as the whole building still presents itself in the architectural style of the early 20th century. A little below the former spa house, directly on the river, is the associated mountain inn. Take the same route back to Sent (there is a half-hourly connection from Sent back to Scuol). There are various trail options in Sent from the end of the dream run.

Geheimtipp

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