Guarda is one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES of Switzerland. It is located in the lower Engadin in the canton of Graubünden, in the far East of Switzerland. Being so far away from the bigger Cities of Switzerland, Guarda and its nearby villages mark a stark contrast with their calm atmosphere. Certainly in the lower Engadin, some of Switzerland’s most peaceful and quiet villages can be found here. One of these HIDDEN GEMs is GUARDA. Many people may not know about Guarda, but we Swiss people we learn about Schellenursli during our childhood days. Guarda is the home town of Schellenursli, Switzerland’s most famous comic figure. On a yearly basis, the villagers hold the tradition of CHALANDAMARZ, which is the local form of carnival in the Engadin region. Chalandamarz takes place on first of March. During this cultural festival, the local schoolkids will march through the village of Guarda and loudly ring their cow bells to chase away the Winter spirits to welcome Spring. This is certainly the most friendly form of Carnival in Switzerland as otherwise often scary masks are involved. Chalandamarz in Guarda is in particular special, because it is reflected in the story of Schellenursli. Not only is Guarda a village of culture but also is considered being one of the most beautiful villages of Switzerland. Roam around the many alleys and streets and get astonished by the wonderful traditional houses in there. The houses in the lower Engadin are known for their sgraffiti, beautiful paintings on the edges, window- and door frames. Each house in Guarda is somewhat an artwork and reflect the incredible beauty of this Swiss Village. Guarda is a perfect hidden gem Swiss Village and a must-see for all who love quiet and authentic places in Switzerland.
