Ardez is another charming village, quite similar to Guarda but not as famous. It is located between Scuol and Guarda. Ardez is somewhat livelier than Guarda and has the advantage of having the train station right by the village. It is full of sgraffito decorated old houses along the cobbled streets, nice fountains etc. I noticed many of the houses were restored recently.
On a nearby hill you are remains of the old castle Steinsberg (ruins). Ardez is also a good starting place for hikes/walks.
