Guarda is a true gem in the Lower Engadine, a village seemingly straight out of a fairytale. Famous for its beautifully preserved historic houses, decorated with characteristic sgraffitos that tell local stories and traditions, it is a protected, traffic-free village. For its beauty and authenticity, it has received a prestigious award for the preservation of its architectural heritage. Guarda is also the setting for the famous children's book "Schellen-Ursli," which tells the story of the courageous young boy Ursin.

The entire village is a museum. Plan enough time to admire the pretty houses. Pay attention to details like wooden beams, door fittings, paintings, etc.
