Rohan Fortress is a historic castle in Switzerland. The original structures were largely destroyed during World War II to make way for modern military installations, which were subsequently demolished. Today, only a few traces of the walls and foundations remain, testifying to the complex's ancient divisions.

Beautiful trail, partly S2 at the top, flowing S1 at the bottom. Be careful of the often slippery, moss-covered stones.

Reformed Church of St. George (San Güerg), Lavin

Highlight • Religious Site

Baselgia Church of San Güerg Lavin
The church of Lavin with its restored paintings from 1490 to 1500 is one of the most famous art monuments in Graubünden and one of the most worth seeing. On the church tour you will get an insight into the history of the church and the village.
Description
The church was built around 1480. A little later, the choir walls, the choir vault and the choir arch front wall were painted over their entire surface, presumably by a master from Northern Italy. The result is a cycle of pictures that, thanks to its quality and the original representation of symbols, can be counted among the most valuable works of art in Graubünden. In 1529, when Lavin was introduced to the Reformation, the paintings were completely covered with whitewash. 1955 to 1956, on the occasion of a church renovation, the picture cycle was rediscovered, uncovered and restored. The rare depiction of Jesus Christ with the three interlocked faces as a symbol of the Trinity is remarkable.

Lavin–Guarda hiking trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Trail: LAVIN - GUARDA - FTAN
Standing out is the village of Guarda, which lies on a terrace and whose village center is one of the most beautiful in Switzerland. Distinctive village fountains and numerous lovingly restored Graubünden houses document this impressively. The hike is effortless and leaves plenty of room to enjoy the magnificent landscape.
From Lavin train station, follow the hiking trail in the direction of Guarda (Guarda 1.20 h). The lofty location on the outskirts of the small village of Guarda is breathtaking in itself. The home-protected village plays the story of the famous "Schellenursli". The defiant houses with their sgraffiti, the carved gate entrances, the crooked alleys - everything radiates the magic of bygone times. In Guarda, the traditional Hotel Meisser with more than 100 years of family history is recommended. The hotel enjoys a wonderful view and has a magnificent panoramic hotel garden. The cozy pine parlors, the atmospheric rooms and suites and the exquisite cuisine offer relaxation with added value. From here continue towards Ardez. In Bos-cha walk straight towards Ardez. Above Ardez follow the hiking trail to Ftan. At a fork, turn right towards Ftan. Hike to the post office in Ftan. Buses run regularly from Ftan to Scuol. From there you can take the train back to Lavin.
