Hike Details

After a few years break, we're heading back Scuol. Depending on what time we reach Scuol, there may be an oportunity to rest our weary bodies in the Spa so bring your trunks.

While this is a new starting point, there are beautiful views all the way along the En Valley. As we walk through the villages examples of the local building decor, sgraffito, will be everywhere.

In anticipation of the ski lifts being shut, we will be walking up to where we would normally start on Sunday. This can be a bit of a slog but, once at the high poing of the hike, it's pretty much downhill all the way from there.

 

Sign Up
