90 km of cross-country skiing pleasure along the Inn River

The Lower Engadine provides a diverse network of trails in the pristine nature at the foot of the Swiss National Park, most of which can be conveniently accessed by public transport such as the post bus and the Rhaetian Railway. Whether you prefer classic or skating styles, whether you're a beginner or an ambitious athlete, there's something for every taste.

Nachtloipe Ftan
General description
From the PostBus stop Ftan, cumün, the trail entrance is located towards the western end of the village, at the wooden hut next to the car park. This circuit is a shortened version of the Hochalpines Institut Ftan cross-country ski trail, but this does not detract from the skiing pleasure. Nevertheless, the short circuit has its own special charm and is also technically perfect. This circuit is particularly popular with locals. 




Important: The light switch for the night trail is located at the wooden hut by the car park (towards Ardez). After switching on, the light burns for one hour and then switches off automatically.
The trail is groomed regularly when conditions are good. Please note the condition reports in the winter sports report.

The tour was assessed in favourable weather conditions, the current snow and weather conditions must be taken into account before setting off.
