The 15 km long trail is the extension of the Engadin Skimarathon trail from S-chanf to Zernez. It leads on the right side of the Inn River mostly through the forest down to Zernez and includes challenging climbs and descents.
Author’s recommendation
Take the train from Zernez to S-chanf and then enjoy cross-country skiing to Zernez, followed by a fine piece of cake on the sun terrace of the Restorant Center da Sport.
