Ramosch – Tulai – Vnà

The snowshoe tour starts in Ramosch, which is characterized by an old Roman road. It is one of the driest places in Switzerland and is considered the warmest Engadin village in summer. The mild climate and good soil conditions once made Ramosch and the higher located Vnà the granary of the Engadin. The terraced fields on the slopes around Ramosch still bear witness to the former irrigation of the fields. The route follows the mentioned terraces eastward uphill from Ramosch. Along the way, the impressive mountain panorama stretches from Val d’Assa over Val d’Uina to the Sesvenna group south of Scuol. The last part to Vnà is through the forest. The sunny and scenic location of the village invites a rest after the steep climb. The village museum Vnà and the «dicziunari rumantsch» – a walkable dictionary – make a village walk in Vnà an experience. On small signs attached to the houses, expressions in four languages (Romansh, Italian, German, English) can be compared. The snowshoe tour then leads directly back to Ramosch. The legendary and listed ruin of Tschanüff castle is always in view. Along with Tarasp Castle, it was long the most important fortress of Lower Engadin and shapes the village image just like the reformed Florin Church. The late Gothic sacred building has space for 450 people, making the church – after the Martins Church in Chur – the second largest in the canton.
