Val Tuors
The Val Tuors is an approximately eight kilometer long mountain valley in Graubünden / Switzerland that leads from Bergün / Bravuogn (1,400 m above sea level) along the Tuorsbach to the hamlet of Chants (1,822 m above sea level).
The valley is accessed by a narrow natural road. Other hamlets in the valley are Tuors Davant (1704 m. Above sea level) and Punts d'Alp (1770 m. Above sea level).
Chants is the starting point for demanding high mountain tours, for example to the Keschhütte and on the Piz Kesch or through the Val Ravais-ch over the Sertig or Scalettapass to Davos . The Swiss Alpine Marathon , the largest ultra-mountain run in Switzerland , leads through Val Tuors .
On March 11, 1799, the French General Lecourbe led 2,000 men over the Val Tuors and over the Val Susauna to the Inn in the Lower Engadine (still a busy two-day tour today), where he surprised the Austrian troops under Field Marshal Heinrich von Bellegarde .
An on-call bus from the Busalpin runs from Bergün to Tuors Chants.
