From Ardez train station, the hike leads through the centre of the village to the Pradè junction. Here the path climbs up to Murtera Dadoura. Turn right toward Maranguns, where you can enjoy the extensive views of the three thousand metre peaks on the opposite side of the valley and the side valleys of the Lower Engadine, Val Zeznina, Val Nuna and Val Sampuoir.  Ardez, Bos-cha and Sur En d'Ardez can be seen in the valley, while from a certain height the view to the south reveals some of the 20 or so mountain lakes of Macun in the National Park. From Maranguns, you ascend the last stretch – with a recommended detour via Lai Ruduond – to Chamonna Cler, the highest point of the hike. The descent over the south-east ridge of Piz Cotschen to Muot da l'Hom provides vistas from Scuol to Susch. Via Mundaditsch, you continue your descent to the end point of the hike back to Ardez.

Schellen-Ursli film locations: opening credits and alp

The Schellen-Ursli film begins on Lai Raduond as Uorsin runs up the slope with the goats and the camera pans upward to show the panorama of the Lower Engadine mountain scenery.

The summer alp is the Murtera Dadoura Alp, which lies east of Alp Sura. For the film a backdrop was added. The picture in the film does not correspond to the actual alp as you see it now.

All filming locations of the Schellen-Ursli film can be found here.
