From the village of Vnà, the route follows a flat, wide road over the open south-facing slope through the snow-covered terraced landscape to Sur Savuogn, offering an impressive mountain panorama from Val d'Assa to Val d'Uina and the Sesvenna Group south of Scuol. Shortly before Runai the path leads through a sparse group of trees. Here you have the option of climbing up to Martinatsch, where the entrance to the toboggan run to Ramosch is located.
If you prefer less elevation difference, go straight on, slightly downhill to Medras. Here you will again meet the sledge run. Those who prefer to ride the next 4 kilometres down to Ramosch instead of walking are recommended to take the sledge with them on this winter hike.
Alternating along the edge of the forest and over open terrain, you can enjoy the view of the Inn in the valley, Ramosch and the snow-covered peaks of the Lower Engadine Dolomites at the western entrance to the valley, whether on sledge or by foot.
Once in Ramosch, the PostBus will take you back to Vnà or to Scuol/Martina (hourly service).
Author’s recommendation
- 1st alternative: You can also take the turnoff to Martinatsch at Runai and follow this path. At Medras instead of walking to Ramosch, hike back to Runai and Vnà.
- 2nd alternative: Instead of walking directly from Runai to Medras, you can also take the turnoff at Runai and reach the upper road. This path then meets the other one again at Medras.
- 3rd alternative: Once you have arrived on Motta, you can also choose the path to Seraplana instead of continuing down to Ramosch.
