Sur En d'Ardez Sur En near Ardez is characterized by its typical Engadin houses with sgraffito and was the filming location for the Schellen-Ursli film. All scenes from the home village of Uorsin, his family, and friends were filmed here. Sur En d'Ardez is situated on a terrace, high above the Inn River, on the right side of the valley, directly opposite Ardez and Guarda. The small hamlet is almost deserted in winter and, with its peaceful atmosphere, is best explored on foot. Entire house facades and buildings were rebuilt for filming. Walking through the village, however, one discovers a few familiar alleys here and there, or the fountain around which the children run at Chalandamarz. According to the story by Selina Chönz and Alois Carigiet, the Schellen-Ursli story takes place exclusively in Guarda, which, however, was not considered a filming location due to its busy commercial environment.

Romanesque showcase village Ardez Even from afar, the ruins of Steinsberg Castle catch the eye. They tower over this showcase village of Romanesque living culture: sunlight plays around the sgraffito of the beautiful Engadin houses, the diverse agricultural landscape is omnipresent, conjuring a stoic tranquility. Thanks to the bypass road and careful planning, Ardez owes its intact village appearance, which couldn't be better integrated into the landscape and creates a sense of security. Whether we descend from the mountain lakes on Piz Cotschen, come from the Val Tasna past Chanoua to the WWF Emerald Area, or ascend from the Inn Gorge after visiting Sur-En or Tarasp: we are not going to Ardez, but arriving there.
