BOS-CHA "a small hamlet"
Bos-cha, a small hamlet in the municipality of Scuol in the Lower Engadine, has an interesting history. The hamlet is located at an altitude of 1664 meters on the edge of a hillside terrace overlooking the valley landscape and consists of about a dozen houses with around 30 inhabitants.
Bos-cha was originally an overnight accommodation on the old thoroughfare that led to Scuol via Guarda, Bos-cha, Chanoua and Ftan until 1862. Apart from a St. Stephen's Chapel (1525), which was converted into a private house, the place is not mentioned anywhere in documents.
Bos-cha is now a quiet hamlet that has retained its historic charm and is a popular destination for hikes and recreation in nature. The idyllic location and the well-preserved traditional buildings make Bos-cha an interesting place for visitors who want to experience the original way of life of the Engadine.

Bos-cha ([ˈbɔʃtɕɐ]) is a hamlet on the left side of the valley of the Lower Engadine in the canton of Graubünden and belongs politically to the municipality of Scuol (until 2014 Ardez, although it is closer to Guarda). Bos-cha lies at an altitude of 1664 m on the edge of a hillside terrace overlooking the valley landscape. The hamlet consists of a dozen houses with about 30 inhabitants.

Bos-cha was originally an overnight accommodation on the old through road that led to Scuol via Guarda, Bos-cha, Chanoua and Ftan until 1862. Apart from a St. Stephen's Chapel (1525), which was converted into a private house, the place is not mentioned anywhere in documents.

Sights include the Viletta/Claglüna house with an impressive baroque gable and the remains of the old mill by the stream on the way to Guarda. It fell victim to an avalanche in 1951, shortly after it had been declared a heritage site. Today you can still see some remains of the walls, two millstones and the impressive water wheel.

The legend of the landlady of Bos-cha comes from Bos-cha.
