Punt da Gurlaina, Footbridge in Scuol, Switzerland

Punt da Gurlaina is a 150-metre steel high bridge reserved for slow traffic, rising 35 metres above the Inn in Scuol. It rests on two concrete piers clad in facing masonry, has a wooden plank deck and runs northwest to southeast from the Chantröven quarter to the Gurlaina woods and campsite. Built by Bosshard & Cie. of Näfels as a three-opening hinged girder with variable truss height, its suspended 36-metre middle section has a curved lower chord.

Built by Bosshard & Cie. of Näfels, the 150-metre steel bridge rises 35 metres above the Inn. Its 36-metre, 460-centner central section was assembled on a temporary bridge at water level, lifted by steel cables on 7 October 1905 and hung between the side spans. It was inaugurated on 17 December 1905 with processions from the S-charl valley and Scuol meeting mid-span; private users initially paid 20 Rappen. A renovation begun in April 2020 was halted after damage was found.

The name is Romansh (Vallader idiom): "Punt da Gurlaina" means the bridge by the Gurlaina woods, the forest tract it reaches on the southeast bank. Locals still call it Gurlainabrücke in German. In its early years private individuals paid a 20-Rappen toll to cross.

The bridge sits along a popular hiking loop accessible on foot from Scuol. Parking is available nearby, and public transport reaches the area easily.
