On the last stage of the Trans Grischun it gets wild, rough and technical. The highlight is the route through Val S-charl and up to the Pass da Costainas, the transition from the Lower Engadine to Val Müstair.

Details

Description

After the start in Scuol, follow mountain bike route no. 1. The ascent to the mountain village of S-charl starts in the forest with a few steep ramps. Here the surface is still asphalted and the metres in altitude quickly melt away. Shortly afterwards, the forest thins out at Sasstaglia, tarmac is replaced by gravel and the view opens up into the valley. The Clemgia river flows down the bumpy gorge on the right. Nature becomes wilder. Not surprising, as you are close to the Swiss National Park. Nestled between high mountain peaks, the route climbs leisurely, with short, steep ramps in between, up to S-charl at 1808 metres above sea level. Here we recommend you take a short breather: fill your water bottle and recharge your batteries in the restaurant if necessary. Then the final ascent to the roof of the Trans Grischun begins - to the Pass da Costainas at 2250 metres above sea level. Shortly after S-charl, you will see the God da Tamangur on the left side of the valley. This is the highest contiguous Swiss stone pine forest in Europe. Nature and gravel bike experience at its best.

Geheimtipp

The Trans Grischun leads through inhabited areas at regular intervals, so that you can always find places to stay overnight and adapt the stages to your needs.
