Beautiful, beautiful, lonely hike in Unter Engadin - don't miss this one!
Stunningly beautiful and lonely hike from Guarda through the Val Tuoi and over the Furcletta pass. The hike then follows Val Tasna to return to Ardez. Highly recommended in autumn!

We got the train to Guarda – a beautiful Engadin village awarded a prize for its architecture. It’s well worth to spend some time in the village before or after this hike.
Once we had had a good look around we headed into Val Tuoi. Simply beautiful! We REALLY recommend to do this hike in the last 2 weeks of October for the stunning autumnal colours.
It’s a lovely gentle uphill stroll along the valley…
and after around 2 hours we reached the Chamonna Tuoi, perched under Piz Buin.
We turned right at the hut and headed towards Furcletta – there was a lovely little lake half way up.
About an hour after the hut we reached the Furcletta pass – an ideal spot for lunch.
It’s a little steep and loose down from the Furcletta, so take care and there was then a little rock-hopping. Keep your eyes open for the red and white markers.
After around an hour we reached the area of Valmala where 3 valleys meet.
It was then a stroll down Val Tasna following the river…
… and returning to the colourful world of larch trees.
Once out of the valley we reached the quiet road between Ftan and Ardez, and headed towards Ardez – still beautiful.
We then entered into Ardez – another village worth to spend some time to explore…
… before catching the train back to Guarda. A gloriour, glorious hike!
