This winter hike begins at the Gurlaina Bridge, which is situated high above the Inn and offers wonderful views over Scuol with its reformed church. After the bridge you pass the Gurlaina sports area with its ice rink, soccer and tennis courts and follow the little frequented road for a while. At the junction, the hike continues through the forest until you finally reach the small village of Pradella with its Engadine houses. Continue along a wide path to the Pradella hydroelectric power station, which generates electricity from the Inn River. There you change to the other side of the Inn. Hiking slightly uphill you now return to Scuol. Keep left on "Via da Manaröl" past the Denner supermarket and continue straight on into the old centre of Scuol, where you pass the village squares "Plaz" and "Bügl Grond" with their village fountains. The hike ends at the Gurlaina bridge.
