Holiday apartment in Furna

Furna is not a compact holiday resort, but a widely scattered Walser settlement on Furner Berg in the central Prättigau. At around 1,351 metres above sea level, individual farms, the districts of Usserberg, Mittelberg and Hinterberg, as well as the alpine landscape, shape the appearance of the village. If you are looking for nature, peace and days spent outdoors together, Furna is an interesting base - provided that the exact location of your accommodation and the planned regional excursions fit your travel plans.

Between Walser farms and raised bogs

The appeal of Furna lies in its settlement form and its immediate connection to the landscape. Instead of a densely built-up village centre, you will experience a mountain settlement with scattered farms and several districts. The history of the place goes back to a Walser settlement mentioned in 1394; this is a historical indication of the long settlement history of Furnerberg, but it does not replace a complete local history.

The natural character becomes especially tangible in the raised bogs of Furner Berg. They are of national importance and are home to a special flora and fauna. Furna therefore offers a peaceful day in nature with a clear landscape theme. You should check individual paths, access routes and requirements separately before planning.

Active days in summer, quiet winter experiences

For the warmer season, Furna is described as a landscape-oriented setting for hiking and cycling days in the mountain and lake landscape. No specific routes or difficulty levels can be derived from this. If you want to combine different interests, you can therefore classify Furna primarily as a starting point for days in nature, without planning a specific tour programme in advance.

In winter too, the peaceful mountain landscape takes centre stage. Mentioned are groomed winter hiking trails through snow-covered meadows and forests as well as snowshoe hikes, ski tours and tobogganing. This information is to be understood as seasonal guidance; you should check snow conditions, operating status and specific starting points for your travel period. Grüsch-Danusa belongs to the regional surroundings of Furna as a winter sports destination and is therefore a separate excursion destination, not a local attraction of Furna itself.

Which accommodation base suits your plans?

Furna is especially suitable if a scattered, quiet mountain settlement and nature experiences are more important to you than a compact holiday resort. When choosing a holiday apartment, you should therefore pay attention to the exact location within the settlement. The several districts and scattered farms make forward planning of daily routes sensible, but they say nothing about a specific traffic situation or the facilities of an individual accommodation.

If you are planning local days in nature and individual experiences in the wider Prättigau-Davos area, you should check the routes to your selected destinations separately. This keeps clear what Furna itself is known for and which options belong to the wider region: rent Prättigau-Davos.
