Lower Engadine

The Lower Engadine is part of the Engadin valley, traversed by the Inn river and located in Eastern Switzerland in the Canton Graubünden.

In contrast to the elevated plain of the Upper Engadin, where the upper reaches of the Inn River flow gently down the valley, the geological background of the Lower Inn Valley forms a very different landscape. The right flank of the valley, the Lower Engadin Dolomites, is highly jagged, densely forested and steep. Glaciers and rivers have marked the left side of the valley in many different ways, where the geological structure has allowed for the formation of a fairly broad valley floor and sofly rising, rounded landscape features with high-lying terraces, which is where most of the villages - with the notable exception of the main town Scuol - are located.
