From world-famous cure resort to wellness destination.

The mineral water of Scuol

Back to Natural landscape in the Lower Engadine
Numerous mineral springs flow in the area around Scuol, which were first mentioned in a document in 1369. The towns of Scuol, Tarasp and Vulpera became world-famous as health resorts 100 years ago and still attract guests from all over the world.
Bathing in the Bogn Engiadina mineral baths, walking along the Inn past the historic drinking hall Büvetta Tarasp or tasting mineral water at the various village fountains – mineral water can be experienced in numerous ways.

What is the difference between this and tap water?

Our mineral water comes directly from the ground, with natural minerals – some springs even bubble up all by themselves.  In contrast, tap water contains fewer minerals and is obtained from groundwater or surface sources.

Does mineral water taste good?

Every mineral spring is unique and tastes different. Some people love it straight away, others need a moment to acquire a taste for it. You can sample the mineral springs at the mineral water fountain or directly at the source, or you can book a mineral water tasting session.

Where does the taste and colour come from?

Mineral water in the Lower Engadine matures deep within the rock, absorbing minerals that characterise the taste and colour of the surrounding area. This creates springs with a unique character, taste and composition.
