The raft slips into the Inn like a confederate of current and cold air; the river pushes forward, playful and exacting. You launch a few kilometres above the village of Scuol and, over roughly nine kilometres, the Inn alternates between riffled playground and stern, technical drops. The run’s opening rapids—Frenchman’s, the ‘happy snappa’ and ‘locomotive’—wake everyone up; later sections, including ‘Galaxy’ and ‘Jack the Ripper’, demand quick paddling and steady balance before the water pools into Pradella where the take-out waits.

This stretch of river cuts through the Engadin’s layered geology: glacially-carved gorges, slabs of Bündner schist and moraine deposits that steer currents into tight, fast channels. Scuol itself is historically notable as a 19th-century mineral spa town—grand hotels and spring halls line the approach as you drift past, a reminder of the area’s thermal culture.
Expect professional safety briefings, paddle coaching and full rafting kit (lifejackets, helmets, neoprene suits, jackets and river shoes provided). The trip lasts about four hours including transfers and instruction; the water is cold year-round, and guides will coach swimmers and first-timers through self-rescue basics. Practical prep: swimwear under your wetsuit, a towel for the shuttle, and small change for photos.
This is an accessible whitewater day for active travelers who want real rapids without committing to a multi-day expedition. Respect river commands, listen to guides, and enjoy the raw energy of the Inn as it sculpts the Engadin landscape.
