Forum Aua Forta – Water Days Scuol

The global issue of water has also reached the moated castle of the Alps. How are tourism providers in Graubünden dealing with the challenges of increasingly scarce water resources as a result of climate change? Does this even open up new opportunities to develop water offers and turn them into new «river stories»?

Everything flows! Graubünden rediscovers its rivers as lifelines

«The Inn – river stories between Zernez and Martina»

«Everything flows! Graubünden rediscovers its rivers as lifelines» – this is the new motto for Friday, 20 September at 6.00 pm. The project from the last forum «The Inn – river stories between Zernez and Martina» will be presented at the Forum Aua Forta. The En/Inn example should serve as inspiration and motivation to encourage other river regions to become part of the «river story community» in Graubünden.

Mineral springs

Origin of water tourism in Scuol

Over 20 mineral springs bubble up in the area around Scuol, which were first mentioned in documents in 1369. The towns of Scuol, Tarasp and Vulpera became world-famous 100 years ago as health resorts thanks to their mineral waters and still attract visitors from all over the world today. The Büvetta Tarasp drinking hall in particular attracted a great deal of attention thanks to spa and water tourism. Today you can marvel at the historic drinking hall from the outside, bathe in the Bogn Engiadina mineral baths, walk along the mineral water paths along the Inn, book experiences and explore village fountains to get closer to the history of water in Scuol.
