Scuol (Romansh: [ˈʃkuɔ̯l] ⓘ) is a municipality in the Engiadina Bassa/Val Müstair Region in the Swiss canton of Grisons.
On 1 January 2015 the former municipalities of Ardez, Guarda, Tarasp, Ftan and Sent merged into Scuol.
In 1178 Pope Alexander III confirmed all of the monastery's possessions in Scuol, including the church.
The village was destroyed in the Swabian War of 1499; in 1516 Bernardo da Poschiavo built a new church.
From circa 1860 onwards, the healing springs of Scuol were used on a larger scale and the time of spa tourism began.
With the advent of winter sports in the middle of the 20th century, the second era of tourism in Scuol began.
[4] The Neo-Renaissance style Grand Hotel Waldhaus Vulpera in Scuol-Tarasp with Sgraffito-Elements was opened on 8 June 1897.
[5] Before the merger Scuol had an area, (as of the 2004/09 survey) of 144.14 square kilometers (55.65 sq mi).
[6] The whole southern face towards Piz Champatsch on 2,785 meters (9,137 ft) is being used as a skiing area called "Motta Naluns", named after a place north of Scuol.
Before 2017 it was the municipality is the capital of the Inn district and was located in the Suot Tasna sub-district, after 2017 it was part of the Engiadina Bassa/Val Müstair Region.
The forest nature reserve covers an area of about 84 ha (210 acres) at up to 2,400 m (7,900 ft) in elevation.
Understandably for a mountain resort with a major ski region, orthopedic procedures are very common.
The Chasa Wieland Nr.29 in Scuol village was built around a three-story medieval stone tower.
The walls still show the Pietra Rasa construction, where the mortar that holds the rough stones together is also used as a plaster to them.
[18] Due to its geographical positioning, being located in the depth of a valley, Scuol features a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen: "Dfb") with moderate summers and chilly winters, which is usually accompanied with occasional snowfall.
Despite seeing an average low of −8º in its coldest month, the winters here are not as cold as the towns upstream (such as St. Moritz).
The wettest month is August during which time Scuol receives an average of 109 mm (4.3 in) of precipitation.
