On the road between Ardez and Ftan, breathtaking views of the Lower Engadine await you. The road is well developed and there are several red benches along the way so that you can relax from the driveway while looking at the mountains.

fourth Many stately farmhouses with their typically painted and sgraffito-decorated facades are under protection. Ardez is located on a terrace above the Inn Valley at 1460m.

Guarda – a village for all the senses
This is what you find in Guarda. The Lower Engadine village, which became famous because of the story of Schellen-Ursli, is one of the most beautiful places in Graubünden. We went on a winter discovery tour and experienced Guarda with all five senses.
The buildings mostly date from the 16th and 17th centuries. This is unique in the valley because, unlike other Lower Engadine villages, Guarda was spared from major village fires. The church is even more original with its decorative tower. It has survived both wars and the Habsburg raids and destruction. What is striking: The houses in the village center all face the street. This is surprising, given the sunny hillside location, but it has to do with the fact that Guarda was a street village 500 years ago and the main traffic axis ran through the small town. Today Guarda is traffic-free. If you arrive by car, leave your vehicle at the parking lot at the entrance to the town. It's even better to travel in a relaxed manner using public transport.

Gravel Path Along the Inn River

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A resident told me that this section is missed by a number of cyclists, who then drive on the highway.

Hairpin Bends to Norbertshöhe

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

A beautiful winding road between Martina and Nauders, the Norbertshöhe is a great way to connect the Lower Engadine to the Resia Pass while avoiding traffic and staying in the greenery.

June 6, 2022,T2 Innradweg: Zernez - Pfunds

Even nicer and more varied than the first day, although it already had so much to offer.

Sunny in the morning but really fresh, especially in the shade. But it got so warm during the day that we could ride with short sleeves.

The panorama again exceptional and in bright sunshine.
