Your first town to visit today is Lavin, a wonderfully preserved town full of character of an old mountain village. The name of the village Guarda (“Look!”) is based on the beautiful views. But ait is alos famous for tall stone houses with sgraffito-decorated facades which line the narrow streets.The ornamentation and simple paintings on the buildings are among the most remarkable examples anywhere in the Engadine. The aim of today’s stage is Scuol, with one of Europe's modern spas “Bogn Engiadina” and the castle Tarasp, the majestic landmark of the Engadin.

After Biel the Aare returns as your faithful companion. The storks of Altreu circling in the sky provide a very special adventure. And soon the towers of the Solothurn Cathedral greet you from afar.
