Here you can cross the Inn on a covered bridge to reach Susch. A detour into the village is worthwhile: there are Engadine houses to see and also places to stop for refreshments and stay overnight. With its train station, Susch is well connected to the rest of the valley.

Susch is German and officially Süs until 1943
Bronze and Iron Age finds have been found on the hills of Chaschlins, Padnal, Motta da Palü and Chaschinas. Susis was first mentioned in 1161, and Süs was the official German name until 1943. The tower La Praschun is mentioned around 1200, and the Planta tower probably dates from the 13th century. The Lords of Süs have been documented since 1299. In 1325, Susch and Lavin separated from Ardez ecclesiastically, and since 1422 it has been a separate parish. The developed pasture areas in the Flüela and Vereina valleys were sold to Davos and Prättigau communities in the 14th and 16th centuries. The village of Susch was destroyed by Austrian troops in the Swabian War in 1499. The famous disputation of the Engadin clergy took place in the Gothic church of San Jon, which was built around 1515, in 1537-1538. In 1550, Susch introduced the Reformation. The first reformed pastor was Ulrich Campell. In 1635, Duke Henri II de Rohan and Jörg Jenatsch built the star-shaped Fortezza fortress on Chaschinas. In 1652, Susch bought himself out of Austria and belonged to the Obtasna judicial community until 1851. In 1742, a baroque-style gallery and organ were built into the church.
Until the construction of the Engadin line of the Rhaetian Railway in 1913, Susch lived mainly from traffic over the Flüela Pass. In 1925, a major village fire raged. In 1999, the Vereina Tunnel was opened, which led to an increase in the number of people employed in the service sector, which accounts for 65 percent of jobs.
