Acla da Fans - Val Sampuoir

Acla da Fans is a duty-free shop in the middle of the forest. The Samnaun duty-free zone begins in the area. The Val Sampuoir, at the valley exit of which Acla da Fans is located, belongs to the neighbouring municipality of "Valsot". The tour therefore begins at Acla da Fans and leads about 1.5 km along the Samnaun road, including a short, single-lane tunnel (be careful!). Shortly after the first tunnel, the alpine road turns right into the wild Val Sampuoir and the steady climb through the forest begins. After about 5.5 km and 450 metres of altitude difference at Plan da Purschès, you change the side of the valley and are now above the timberline. At the end of the valley you can see the highest peak in Samnaun, the Muttler, at 3296 m above sea level. The alpine road is somewhat less developed on the last 2 km. The bike tour ends at the alp "Las Eras", here you can only continue on foot, either in the direction of the Rossbodenjoch into the Samnaun "Val Maisas", or in the south over the Fuorcla Salèt in the direction of Tschlin in the Lower Engadine. From the alp "Las Eras", the same path leads back down the Val Sampuoir.
