Guarda SWISS Fairytale VILLAGE: Home of Schellenursli – Lower Engadin Switzerland

Guarda is one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES of Switzerland. It lays in the far East of Switzerland, in the lower Engadin. The region is very interesting: It lays in the eastern Swiss Alps and it’s full of beautiful and authentic Swiss villages. Very characteristic about these villages and Guarda in particular are the many houses with their paintings. These are called Sgraffiti and usually decorate the door- and window frames. Guarda is a car-free village, thus you will have to park your car a few hundred meters in front and walk in from there. Alternatively, you may arrive by public transport; by this, you will be taken to the village centre. Guarda charms with its many beautiful alleys and houses but also fountains. These are very important in the local culture, because of the tradition called Chalandamarz. Guarda is also the hometown of “Schellenursli”, who is Switzerland’s most famous comic book figure. The book of “Schellenurseli” (A bell for “Ursli”) is probably the most told Swiss child story. Ursli is very present in the village, there is his house called “Casa 21” and a museum dedicated to him. Unlike on the book’s cover, you may no longer find the door at the “Casa 21”, because it was moved to another nearby house in the village. Guarda is very cute, charming, alluring and authentic. Because it’s car-free, the holiday feeling up there is really great. In addition: Guarda is one of the hidden gem Swiss villages; even during peak season, there won’t be many people. So make your way up to Guarda to enjoy a serene village and avoid the mass tourism elsewhere. All in all, Guarda is very beautiful, calm, peaceful, family-friendly and cheap! Thus, for people who love to travel on a budget, Guarda is a very attractive destination and secret tip!
Other interesting villages to explore nearby would be Ardez, Ftan and Scuol.

This region is the most fascinating to me and I hope to travel around there next time I am in Switzerland. It looks like a very beautiful region. Engadin, Scuol, Davos and St Moritz. There is a suburb in my home city, Sydney, called Engadine. In fact, there are a few places around Sydney with Swiss names. I'm not sure why. The history of this part of Switzerland is also fascinating. I learned the reason for the Romansch language is because of the remnants of the Roman Empire and how it developed separately from Latin to Italian. There are some beautiful lakes and rivers and great places to camp in the southeast region of Switzerland. It borders Austria and the Tyrol region. I can't wait to get there.

Hi Djemo it's 12:00 am now here in the Philippines. Can't wait to be tge first to watch the premier of this new vlog 😊

RaetoRomansch has always fascinated me ... you can hear the Latin in it, with a little Germanic - and then QUITE different words pop up. Historically an intriguing language, so glad they are working to safeguard it!
