Location
Scuol is the business and administrative center of the region and is lies in the Lower Engadine at a height of 1,250m above sea level. Its mineral springs were the foundation stone for its evolving attraction as a spa destination in the second half of the 19th Century. Originally, it was known as Schuls - still used on occasion today - but the official name is now confined to Scuol. The area is of early historic significance, with archeological excavations providing evidence of ancient habitation.
