Description

From Susch train station the path leads to the western end of the village. Over the covered wooden bridge you reach the other side of the Inn, where the hiking trail begins. The path always follows the Inn upstream onto the spacious plains in the valley floor. Where the valley becomes narrower and the Engadine road, the Inn, the ski trail, and the winter hiking path share space, continue on to Zernez. There, walk through the village along to the train station.

Geheimtipp

The tower «La Tuor» and the fortress «Rohan» shape the village image of Susch. It is the only place in the Lower Engadine where the Inn flows right through the village.

Sicherheitshinweis

The path is groomed after every snowfall. Please observe the condition reports in the winter sports report. The route was rated under favorable weather conditions; the current snow and weather conditions must be checked before starting.

Attention: The path leads through wildlife protection zones; please do not leave the forest paths.
