Built around farmsteads on a sun-facing terrace above the Inn valley, Ftan grew into a compact Rhaeto-Romanic settlement in the Lower Engadine. Now part of the municipality of Scuol, it stands high above the river in Switzerland’s canton of Grisons, where Romansh traditions have long shaped local life. Traditional Engadin houses, with their thick walls and sgraffito decoration, lend the older lanes a distinctive identity. Ftan also shares access to the Motta Naluns ski area, whose slopes spread across the mountains above Scuol and Sent. In summer, this terrain becomes a setting for hiking and mountain biking, while the Inn continues through the valley towards Austria.
