Description

Im Winter putzt sich das ursprüngliche Dorf S-chanf heraus, denn es ist Zielort des Engadin Skimarathon. Trotzdem ist der Loipen-Spass hier noch nicht zu Ende: Die legendäre Marathonloipe kann nämlich bis nach Zernez verlängert werden.

Auf rund 15 Kilometern verläuft sie der rechten Seite des Inn entlang. Romantisch schlängelt sich die Strecke durch die Engadiner Wälder, meist leicht abfallend, mit ein paar kurzen intensiven Steigungen und Abfahrten. Die Loipe endet in Zernez, wo für den Einkehrschwung die Sonnenterrasse des Restorant Center da Sport wartet.

Zernez selber fasziniert nicht nur als Tor zum Schweizerischen Nationalpark, sondern auch mit authentischer Engadiner Architektur und Lebensart. Im obersten Teil des Unterengadins und nahe der Alpenpässe Flüela und Ofen gelegen, ist es ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Tipp: Eine Fahrt mit dem Zug bis nach S-chanf und dann mit den Langlaufski genüsslich nach Zernez zurück fahren.

Geheimtipp

Take the train from Zernez to S-chanf and then enjoy cross-country skiing to Zernez, followed by a fine piece of cake on the sun terrace of the Restorant Center da Sport.

Outdoor Pool Engadin Samnaun Val Müstair

Family pool Zernez

Small but nice - the Zernez family pool shows its true size in miniature: The welcome is warm, the facilities are clearly laid out, and the price is friendly. Here, little water rats get their money's worth in the children's area just as much as big athletes who crawl their lengths in the 25-metre pool. Those who enjoy themselves, on the other hand, take the direct route to the outdoor pool with its current channel, bubble massage loungers, standing bubble pool, underwater massage jets and splash showers and recover from an eventful day in nature in summer and winter with pleasantly warm water temperatures of 34 degrees.
