S-chanf-Zernez-Loipe

Cross-country ski trail through the forest from S-chanf to Zernez, an addition to the route of the Engadin ski marathon. It follows the Inn River and mostly runs gently downhill to the gateway of the Swiss National Park.

From the S-chanf, Parc Naziunal stop, a short approach leads to the start of the cross-country ski trail. The route initially climbs through open terrain and woodland. After around three kilometres, it reaches its highest point at just under 1,700 m, not far from Munt Blais. The trail then heads down the valley towards Brail. Away from the route, the listed Baselgia Brail stands on the hillside.

Alternating between woodland and open terrain, the trail continues through the Engadin. Over 14 kilometres, it involves around 240 metres of ascent and 420 metres of descent. Towards the end, the trees recede and Zernez draws closer. After just under four hours, the cross-country skiing ends in the village at the Center Parc Naziunal; the stop of the same name is only a few steps away. The Restorant Center da Sport is also close to the finish.
