Back to Villages in Graubünden
13 kilometers from Scuol, beyond the Clemgia Gorge, the rugged mountain world of S-charl opens up. The mining and bear museum at Mot Madlain recalls the era of silver mining, while Val Mingèr and the God da Tamangur pine forest promise pure nature. Surrounded by passes and alpine landscapes, S-charl is both a retreat, a starting point, and a true nature experience.
