Remüs brings together historic field terraces, cultural sites and trails. Around Ramosch, topics range from Bronze and Iron Age settlements to Late Gothic churches and hiking and winter routes. When planning your trip, it is worth checking the respective routes and starting points.
Terraced landscape and distinctive vegetation
Historic field terraces continue to shape the landscape around Ramosch. The area around Ramosch has drought-adapted, almost steppe-like vegetation that is considered unique in Switzerland. The landscape can therefore be viewed both in terms of the historic shaping of the land and its distinctive vegetation.
Traces of early settlement and churches
Bronze and Iron Age settlements stood on the rocky outcrop of Mottata near Ramosch between 1600 and 400 BC. According to the status of the Inventory of Cultural Property Protection on 1 January 2026, Mottata is classified as an A-class object. The Church of Sonch Flurin in Ramosch is protected as a cantonal monument and is open to the public at all times; a pre-Reformation tabernacle is located on the left side of the choir.
The Church of St. Florinus is one of the largest Late Gothic churches in Graubünden. The ribs of its chancel vault form the pattern of a “spool star.” At Mottata, visitors can look back into prehistory, while the church architecture and its vaulted detail offer a different perspective on the region’s cultural history.
Tschanüff Castle ruins and the mystery trail
The ruins of Tschanüff Castle, among the most imposing ruins in Graubünden, lie at the entrance to Val Sinestra. The castle was abandoned in 1780. A 2024 tourism brochure describes the KrimiSpass mystery trail in Ramosch as an activity available year-round and mentions a detour to the ruins; check availability locally.
Hiking trails with different routes
The winter hiking trail from Vnà to Ramosch crosses the open southern slope through a snow-covered terraced landscape. The Vnà–Ramosch route via veglia first follows open meadows below Vnà and then enters the Bos-cha Grischa forest above Ramosch. The two routes therefore differ in the sections of landscape they cross: the winter hike takes in the southern slope and terraces, while via veglia first passes through meadows and then forest.
The Ramosch–Sent route begins with a steep climb from Ramosch to Motta da Ramosch and continues via Vnà, Alp Muranza, Sent and Sur En before returning to Ramosch. The Sent–Val Sinestra–Vnà–Ramosch stage connects the Engadine villages of Sent, Vnà and Ramosch with Val Sinestra. For another option with the Inn as a point of reference, take the route from Ramosch to Sur En, which follows the river towards Sur En. At Panas-ch, there is a fire pit along this route with firewood, tables and benches; outdoor facilities may vary by season.
Winter tours and seasonal conditions
The snowshoe tour from Ramosch to Tulai and Vnà starts in Ramosch, is not marked and is undertaken at your own risk. Check current winter conditions before setting out. There is an optional additional loop near Ramosch on the Scuol–Martina cross-country ski trail; grooming and snow conditions depend on the season. For the final four kilometres downhill to Ramosch, it is recommended that you bring a sled so you can travel the stretch by sled rather than on foot.
Getting there and planning your route
Ramosch is located directly on the Engadine road H27. PostBus services connect Ramosch hourly with Vnà, as well as with Scuol and Martina. If your planned routes start in different places, factor in the respective starting points and check the timetable for your travel date.
