Swiss Family Heritage

Painting of Scuol by Paul Somogyi

My Swiss heritage runs deep and is routed in the lower Engadin Valley where Rumantsch is spoken, Switzerland's 4th official language. Scuol is uniquely located close to the Austrian and Italian border and an exhilarating 2.5 hour drive from Zurich. There are two options to access lower Engadin from Zurich and both are equally exciting. The first is for the courageous driver who wishes to tackle the epic Fluela Pass (weather permitting) which originates in Davos
