Description Destination

A model Romanesque village in an excellent setting.

The Steinsberg castle ruins catch our eye from afar and draw us in. They tower over a model village of Romanesque living culture: sunlight plays around the sgraffito of the beautiful Engadine houses, the diverse agriculture is omnipresent and shapes the daily rhythm. Ardez owes its intact village image to the bypass road and careful planning, which could not fit better into the landscape and creates a sense of security. Regardless of whether we descend from the mountain lakes on Piz Cotschen, come from the Val Tasna past Chanoua to the WWF emerald area or climb up from the Inn Gorge after a visit to Sur-En or Tarasp: we are not going to Ardez, we are arriving there.
