S-chanf

S-chanf is a municipality of the Upper Engadin valley, in the canton of Grisons, Switzerland.

Chapella and Susauna are considered part of the municipality. Neighboring villages are Cinuos-chel and Zuoz. At one point the Swiss Army had a facility near S-chanf, where it would conduct exercises in the summertime.

S-chanf is near the Val Trupchun, part of the Swiss National Park. In the park, early risers may spot marmots and, high on the mountains, Steinbok (ibex).

S-chanf has at least two hotels: the Aurora and the Scaletta.

Rheto-romanish, the fourth language of Switzerland, is spoken, as is Swiss-German.

An alternate spelling of the town is Scanfs.
