About Tschierv
Tschierv sits at about 1,660 metres in the Val Müstair, in the canton of Graubünden, and had only 167 residents in 2008. Most people there speak Romansh, and the village was called Cierfs until 1943. Since 2009 it has been part of the Val Müstair municipality. The valley is not the Engadine: the Ofen Pass, at 2,149 metres, links Zernez in the Engadine with the Val Müstair, and the pass road crosses the Swiss National Park. From Tschierv the Rombach river leads down through Fuldera, Valchava and Santa Maria to Müstair, villages of houses decorated with sgraffito. The homes are all within a short stretch of the village, mostly for two to four people, with a sauna at a few and a garden at a few. None has a pool. This is a place for a quiet week.

Getting to Tschierv
The way in from the Engadine climbs from Zernez over the Ofen Pass at 2,149 metres and through the Swiss National Park, so any arrival from a Swiss airport ends with a mountain drive. PostAuto buses run from Zernez to Il Fuorn in about 20 minutes, but a car gives most freedom in the valley.
When to go to Tschierv
The cycle route from Zernez over the pass and down the valley to Müstair is rated difficult, and depending on the season and the weather it may be blocked or interrupted, so check conditions locally before setting out. Tschierv is a village of fewer than two hundred people, so it stays small and quiet in any month.

Tschierv villa holidays: questions answered
Is Tschierv in the Engadine?
No. Tschierv is in the Val Müstair, a separate valley. The Ofen Pass, at 2,149 metres, links Zernez in the Engadine with the Val Müstair, so the village is on the other side of the pass, close to the Italian border.
What language do they speak in Tschierv?
Mostly Romansh. At the 2000 census about 77 percent of residents spoke Romansh and about 19 percent German. The village was called Cierfs until 1943, when it took the name Tschierv.
What can you see near Tschierv?
The St. Johann Monastery in Müstair, a UNESCO World Heritage site dating from Carolingian times, and the Swiss National Park along the Ofen Pass road, home to deer, chamois and ibex.
Is Tschierv good for a quiet holiday?
Yes. It is a village of fewer than two hundred people, at about 1,660 metres, and the homes are mostly small, for two to four. Expect walking, cycling and village life rather than nightlife.
How do you get to Tschierv?
By road over the Ofen Pass from Zernez, through the Swiss National Park. PostAuto buses link Zernez with Il Fuorn in the park, and the pass route can be interrupted by weather, so check conditions first.
