Details

Description

The tour begins on an impressive smugglers' path carved into the rock in the Val d'Uina. 100 metres above the bottom of the gorge, you need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights, despite being secured by chains and handrails. The following singletrail leads to the cosy Sesvenna hut (2256 m). The rest of the route, mostly on gravel and a short stretch on the main road, leads down to the South Tyrolean village of Laatsch (1250 m). Following the Rom stream, you reach your destination for the day in Val Müstair.

The Schellen-Ursli filming location: Alpine cattle driving and lumberjack work

The crash of the loaded wagon and part of the Alpine descent were filmed at Puntins Ots below the adventure and culture trail of the same name in Val d'Uina.

You can find all the locations for the Schellen-Ursli film here.
