    The road from San Jon to S-charl is closed in winter and thus a dream for horse-drawn sleigh rides and winter hikers. You reach San Jon by your own car or taxi; from here you go through a forested area up and into the side valley. Over about ten kilometers, you can enjoy magnificent forests, the view of the edge of the Swiss National Park, and a true valley feeling. Covered in snow, it feels like a fairy tale.

    Note:

    This route proposal is calculated only for the path up to S-charl. The return to Scuol can also be done on foot along the same route or enjoyed on a horse-drawn sleigh. The ride with the horse-drawn sleigh must be reserved in advance at Gasthaus Mayor.

    Author’s recommendation

    The Gasthaus Mayor in S-charl offers warm meals and horse-drawn sleigh rides, which make the return journey a unique experience.
