Hof Zuort, Mountain guesthouse in Val Sinestra, Graubünden, Switzerland
Hof Zuort stands at about 1,700 m in Val Sinestra, above the Engadin valley in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The site is a working mountain farm with a stone farmhouse and a wooden chalet, and it serves as a guesthouse with rooms and a dining room. Trails from Sent and from the Paznaun side meet here.
The site began as a shelter on the trade route connecting Engadin and Paznaun, serving travelers crossing the mountains for centuries. A chalet was added in the late 1800s as the location's use evolved with changing travel patterns.
The hamlet's name comes from the Romansh word for a fenced alpine pasture, and the surrounding meadows are still grazed in summer. The farmhouse kitchen serves dishes built on dairy from the valley and air-dried meat, and guests eat at long shared tables in the old parlour.
The site operates from June to October and December to March, with meals available daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. Access involves mountain trails, so visitors should come prepared for hiking and basic conditions.
Hof Zuort sits at roughly 1,700 metres on the old mule track over the Val Sinestra, and the farm's own dairy has long supplied milk and cheese to travellers crossing between the Engadin and the Paznaun. The buildings grew from a simple shelter into a working alpine farmstead with a chapel.
