Engadine treasure chest that has fascinated for decades
Guarda
High above the Inn, far from the valley road and railway line, lies Guarda with its intact Engadin village landscape. In 1945, this village of 200 souls inspired Selina Chönz and Alois Carigiet to write the story of Schellen-Ursli, and in 1975 it was awarded the Wakker Prize. To this day, Guarda is considered a model village of Romanic culture and living tradition. Sgraffiti, narrow streets and historic houses characterise the village.
