La Punt Chamues-ch is the second municipality to be awarded the “River Pearl PLUS” label. This is in recognition of its commitment to the river Chamuera. The municipality is one of the first to take this step and, with the label, commits itself to caring for the Ova Chamuera and improving her ecological conditions where possible.
The Val Chamuera is one of the most untouched mountain valleys of the Upper Engadin. The valley is located south of the village “La Punt Chamues-ch” and includes several side valleys drained by the Ova Chamuera and by a wide network of tributaries. The great peculiarity of the valley is its tranquility and seclusion.
