The Val Trupchun is a valley in the Swiss National Park in the canton of Graubünden .
It is located in the municipality of S-chanf in the Engadin . At the upper end of the valley lies the border between Italy and Switzerland , and the Fuorcla Trupchun ( Italian Passo Tropione , 2779 m above sea level ) connects it with the Italian municipality of Livigno .
The Val Mela flows from the right , then from Piz Quattervals the Val Müschauns and then the Val Chanels into the Val Trupchun, down the valley at the Punt da Val da Scrigns the Val Chaschauna from the left . From here, in the lower third of the valley, the name of the Ova da Trupchun stream changes to Ova da Varusch, which flows into the Inn at S-chanf .
In autumn during the rutting season , a hike in the valley is ideal for observing deer .
