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 starting point of the trail is in Scuol. Numerous mineral water springs have turned the capital of the Lower Engadine into a wellness destination. Some of the village fountains have fresh mineral water. The old parts of the village, Scuol Sot and Scuol Sura, impress with their Romanesque architecture. The Swiss National Park, the spa and, of course, the ski area make the village a popular holiday destination. The valley trail begins at the eastern edge of the village of Scuol. It crosses the River Inn for the first time over several bends and slightly downhill. Passing the small farming village of Pradella, you reach Sur En, the gateway to the Uina Gorge. There used to be three corn mills, sawmills, lime kilns, two leather tanneries, a forge, a dye works, a roller and a cone mill here. Hard to imagine today when looking at this dreamy mini-village.

The starting point of the trail is in Scuol on the eastern edge of the village. The Inn is crossed for the first time via several bends and a slight descent. Passing the small farming village of Pradella, the trail continues to Sur En, the gateway to the Uina Gorge. At Sur En - which means ‘above the Inn’ - cross-country skiers also cross the river again. Alternating between open terrain and sparse forest, the trail always stays close to the water. A total of three additional loops, some with steep intermediate sections, offer variety on the way to Martina, even for those familiar with the route. Although the border village of Martina has only around 100 inhabitants, it has two churches worth seeing: San Plasch (1515) and San Niclà (12th century). There is also the ‘Stamparia Strada’ printing museum in Strada, just before Martina. The print shop was founded in 1680 and today, after careful renovation, is one of the best-preserved farmhouses of the era.
