Description

At the Ardez train station, go north on a direct route to the main road and follow it in an easterly direction to the edge of the village. Here the path turns left and leads over the field to the right past the schoolhouse and in two curves to the junction towards Chanoua. Already here you have an impressive view of the castle ruins over the rooftops of Ardez into the Val Sampuoir and Sur En on the opposite side of the valley. From here, the path climbs steadily to the ruins of the Sust/Säumerstation Chanoua, where a short rest with a view towards the Upper Engadine is worthwhile. A few meters further down the valley on the right side of the Inn you can see the proud castle Tarasp and the hamlets of the village. The path follows the Fahrstarsse for about 2 km and leads right into the forest at the parking space in front of the Hotel Paradies, past the hotel and the old mill to the hill Nügla on the southwestern outskirts of Ftan, the destination of the hike. From Ftan, sports buses run every half hour to Scuol, from where the train runs hourly to Ardez.

Geheimtipp

If time permits, a short detour to the castle hill of the Steinsberg ruin is recommended in Ardez. Or in Ftan a visit to the toboggan run and airboard slope at the Ftan-Prui chairlift.
