What to do in Scuol Graubünden Switzerland

The town splits into two distinct levels: Scuol Sura along the higher main street of Stradun, and Scuol Sot clustered around quiet squares below. Days naturally divide between mountain air and thermal recovery. You hike the high trails above Motta Naluns in the morning, stop for a plate of barley soup, and spend late afternoon soaking in mineral water. It suits independent walkers who appreciate quiet evenings.
