Engadin Ultra Trail 53 Km / Zuoz - Samedan

The EUT53 is the Panorama Trail par excellence. 53 km of breathtaking mountain panorama, of which 27 km on trails. This makes all trail runners' hearts beat faster.

After the start in Zuoz, La Resgia, the route leads along the dirt road along the golf course, towards La Punt. After about 2 km you turn on the first beautiful trail via Pradels back towards Zuoz. Then follows the first crisp ascent. First on the forest path, then on the trail you go through the God Laviners up to munt Seja, where you will be surprised for the first time by a breathtaking panorama. To Lej da Prastinaun it continues uphill. This is followed, still on the trail, the descent down to Alp Arpiglia, from where you reach the refreshment post in Zuoz, La Resgia again on the alp path. After refreshments, the route leads through the historic village centre of Zuoz, probably the most beautiful in the entire Upper Engadine. This is followed by the longest rise of the EUT50. (6.5 Km / +900m) If you take the time, you can also enjoy the great view, the Engadin up and down on this section. Through the Val Müra you finally reach the Chamanna d'Es-cha, the highest point of the route, where the second refreshment post is located. From here, the high-altitude trail leads along the flank of the Piz Kesch to the Fuorcla Gualdauna, from where you can overlook the Val d'Alvra and the Albula Pass. From here, the route goes downhill to the Albula road and ends in Arvins in the long-distance hiking trail Via Engiadina. Through the God Arvins, the trail of the Via Engiadina leads along the slope to Bever. Through the historic village center you reach the third refreshment post at the schoolhouse Bever.. Freshly strengthened, we first go to Val Bever to reach a flowy trail after the level crossing over the Albula line of the RhB, which leads to Muntarütsch in Samedan. This is where the ascent to Alp Muntatsch begins. This section is an official Strava section, so every 500 m it has a marker with the remaining distance to the alp. From Alp Muntatsch a relatively flat path leads to Alp Munt, on which you should already enjoy the panoramic view. Afterwards you walk on the Padella panoramic trail below the Piz Padella, with its unique view towards the Bernina massif. At the Munt da la Bês-cha, above Celerina, you reach the highest point of the short distance. This is followed by the descent into Val Saluver, to Marguns. From Marguns follows the last descent towards Samedan, where the finish is in the Promulins Arena.
