S-Chanf

view map

The Upper Engadine holiday resort of S-chanf (1662 m, pronounced: Sh'tshanf) with its hamlets Cinuos-chel and Susauna is located in an idyllic spot on the River Inn, north east of Zuoz. It is worth noting for its traditional Engadine architecture as well as its proximity to the Swiss National Park. S-chanf is easily reached by public transport thanks to the Engadine section of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB).The region has a long history: in 1932/33 the site of a prehistoric settlement occupied from the Middle to the Late Bronze Age (La Tène Culture) was discovered on the Botta Striera, a rock outcrop north of the village.
