The gentle terraced landscape on the southern foothills of the Silvretta attracts hikers as early as spring with lots of sunshine, a pleasant gradient and wonderful views. The panoramic hike leads from the Scuol hospital gently uphill through terraces, fields and meadows to Vastur, through Sent and down to the Inn at Sur En. The flora changes according to the seasons, the fauna captivates from spring to autumn with its diversity: in particular the forest edges and bushes form an important habitat for various bird and insect species.
Author’s recommendation
A stop for a piece of homemade cake in the mountain restaurant Vastur is always recommended. Tired legs will benefit from scooters that are available for a comfortable descent to Sent.
