Details

Description

The tour begins on a smuggler's path in the Val d'Uina, impressively carved into the rock. 100 meters above the bottom of the gorge, despite the securing by means of chains and handrails, tread resistance and a head for heights are required. The subsequent single trail leads to the hosted Sesvenna hut (2256 m). The rest of the way, 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, the day's destination is reached in Val Müstair.

Schellen-Ursli filming location: alpine descent and lumberjack work

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

All locations of the Schellen-Ursli film can be found here.
