A challenging but beautifully situated circular trail. The varied terrain is floodlit in the evening and is therefore ideal for evening training.

Continue by PostBus to the cross-country ski trail entrance at the PostBus stop Scuol, Serras

The valley trail follows the River Inn through open terrain, sparse forest and Engadin hamlets. It offers a number of entry and exit points and additional loops.

Start: PostBus stop Scuol, Serras

The starting point of the trail is in Scuol on the eastern edge of the village. The Inn is crossed for the first time via several bends and a slight descent. Passing the small farming village of Pradella, the trail continues to Sur En, the gateway to the Uina Gorge. At Sur En - which means ‘above the Inn’ - cross-country skiers also cross the river again. Alternating between open terrain and sparse forest, the trail always stays close to the water. A total of three additional loops, some with steep intermediate sections, offer variety on the way to Martina, even for those familiar with the route. Although the border village of Martina has only around 100 inhabitants, it has two churches worth seeing: San Plasch (1515) and San Niclà (12th century). There is also the ‘Stamparia Strada’ printing museum in Strada, just before Martina. The print shop was founded in 1680 and today, after careful renovation, is one of the best-preserved farmhouses of the era.

The trail is groomed regularly when conditions are good. Please note the condition reports in the winter sports report.
