    New hotel project strengthens tourism in Scuol

    Halter AG and Bergbahnen Scuol SA have signed a purchase agreement for the land of the former Engadinerhof in Scuol. The two partners intend to establish a hotel business with 130 rooms there, as detailed in a press release. Additional added value is to be brought into the region through the annual occupancy rate. In addition, staff flats, tourist flats as well as first and second homes are to be built to meet local demand.

    “The hotel complex will give visitors unforgettable moments and at the same time help to further consolidate Scuol as a lively and attractive tourist destination,” comments Roman Kummer, project manager at Schlieren-based Halter AG, in the press release. The project aims to strengthen Scuol as a holiday and recreation destination in the long term. Bergbahnen Scuol is contributing its local roots and tourism experience to the collaboration.

    The current plan is to submit the planning application in mid-2028.

    Project partners present alpine solar project ScuolSolar

    The project partners for the alpine photovoltaic system in the Scuol Motta Naluns ski area want to take advantage of the opportunities arising from the Solar Express initiated by the federal government. For this reason, the municipality of Scuol and its civic community, together with EE Energia Eng iadina and Engadiner Kraftwerke AG from Zernez, are presenting their plans for the area surrounding these ski area facilities, more precisely in the Salaniva area. The public information event took place on 25 July.

    The plant is to be used in particular for the production of renewable winter electricity. According to a media release, existing infrastructure will be used to a large extent for the transmission of the energy. Grazing on the land will continue to be possible.

    The project partners have developed their plan within the framework of a project planning company in which all parties have a one-third share. According to the information provided, this shareholding and participation relationship will also apply to the further planning steps. Ultimately, ScuolSolar AG is to be formed. After the necessary approval of the population, the partners want to further develop “this important pioneering project for the Lower Engadine” with experts, then implement and finally operate it.
