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 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 .
