001.01 Alpine Bike Stage 1 Scuol - Tschierv

Scuol (Bahnhof), Scuol

Scenically highly attractive route on the edge of the National Park.

The distinctive, wild and intact natural landscape on the eastern edge of the National Park impresses from the start of the tour. The tour connects the main town of Lower Engadin, Scuol, with the upper Val Müstair via the shortest and probably most attractive route. Through the impressive Val S-charl past the picturesque mining village from the era of ore mining, it leads to the highest located Swiss pine forest in Europe and continues over the Pass da Costainas into Val Müstair. The tour through Val S-charl and over Pass da Costainas is characterized by a unique and intact natural and cultural landscape along a mountain stream, through bright larch, Swiss pine, and mountain pine forests, amidst attractive alpines and rugged three-thousanders. It is worth taking a break in the hamlets of S-charl and Lü.
