Bad Scuol-Tarasp-Vulpera to Martina Attractions

Leaving Lavin, the valley opens up again, and the road reaches the Bad Scuol-Tarasp-Vulpera group of resorts, with Tarasp Castle on its precipitous crag dominating the scene. Beyond Scuol the valley becomes wilder and more solitary, with the few villages (Sent, Ramosch, Tschlin) perched high above the road on the green meadows on the sunny side of the valley. The scenery becomes still more forbidding in the wooded Finstermünz defile beyond the last Swiss Village (Martina), in which, at the hamlet of Vinadi, the old frontier fortifications can still be seen. Here a boldly engineered road leads into the Samnaun valley, where secluded villages attract many visitors both in summer and in winter.

The road now crosses the Austrian frontier into Tirol and continues down the Inn valley, between the Samnaun group and the western ridge of the Ötztal Alps. After passing through Stuben-Pfunds and Prutz it comes to Landeck, where it meets the road from the Arlberg pass.
