    Ardez is an architectural gem in the Lower Engadine, one of the best-preserved villages in the region. Its Engadine-style houses, with their typical thick walls, small windows, and facades decorated with elaborate sgraffito, give it a unique charm. Dominated by the imposing ruins of Steinsberg Castle, the village is a place of great tranquility, where time seems to have stood still. Ardez is an ideal starting point for hikes and walks.

    Hiking

    Ardez
    Ardez is considered a model village of the Romansh language and living culture. From a monument preservation perspective, the renovation work here was exemplary. Many stately farmhouses with their typically painted and sgraffito-decorated facades are protected. Ardez is located on a terrace above the Inn Valley, at 1460m.

    Engadin houses
    The Engadin houses with their mighty stone walls and funnel-shaped windows impress at first glance because of their proud architecture. But their soul lies in the artistic decorations, the sgraffiti.
