The Val Curtegns ( Rhaeto-Romanic val 'valley' and Curtegns to Rhaeto-Romanic in the idiom Surmiran plural of curtegn for 'tree garden, fenced property') is a valley in the Swiss canton of Graubünden near Radons in the municipality of Surses . It is 5.8 km long and up to 2.6 km wide.

The Val Nandro valley is a left-hand side valley of the Oberhalbstein and extends from Savognin to Radons, where it is divided into two side valleys: the left-hand Val Schmorras and the right-hand Val Curtegns. The Val Curtegns stretches from Alp Curtegns near Radons ( 1852  m ) to the passes Fuorcla Starlera ( 2516  m ), Fuorcla Curtegns ( 2657  m ) and Fuorcla Cagniel ( 2748  m ). The Averstal can be reached via the Fuorcla Starlera via Val Starlera and the Val Faller via the Fuorcla Curtegns and Fuorcla Cagniel via Val Gronda . The valley is enclosed on the left by Piz Mez ( 2717  m ) and Murter ( 2752  m ) and on the right by Piz Cagniel ( 2975  m ), Piz Forbesch ( 3261  m ) and Piz Arblatsch ( 3203  m ).

The Val Curtegns is traversed by the Ava da Curtegns , which in Radons flows together with the Ava da Schmorras and under the name Ava da Nandro and later Schletg . The brook flows into the Julia at Savognin .
