Pass da Costainas

From the data purely, the Pass da Costainas is not a gigantic pass. The top of the pass is located at just 2,251 meters. But the backdrop is gigantic and the single trail through the highest pine forest in Europe is very nice and smooth to drive. Before that, however, you have to go from Scoul from the Inn Valley to S'charl, a path that is never particularly steep, but which is quite lengthy. In the village of S'charl you can replenish your supplies before you conquer the pass. Incidentally, this can be done completely in the saddle. After a short downhill on a trail, you switch to a gravel path that takes you to the small town of Lü. A few more kilometers and you have reached the Val Müstair.

One of the most beautiful alpine passes. Driveway of Scuol withdraws. Tip: break in the beautiful village S'charl. Then drive through a beautiful valley next to a rippling creek without large slopes. From the Alp Astras ride on trail to the pass

The specified singletrack of S-charl over the pass is mostly a very pleasant to drive way and is only from the Alp Astras to the actual singletrack. The landscape that you see in this part of the Swiss National Park is always worth a highlight.

The view after the steep ascent to Lü is deserved and breathtaking.

Passhöhe 2251 m

I feel neither the pass nor its singletrack as real highlights; There are clearly better landscapes and trails in the region that deserve the title "Highlight". But as Alpencross transition a nice day's stage. It should be noted in S'charl that the place is located in Switzerland and therefore is the "Refresh supplies" here quite expensive.

Sensatioonelle trails and great views

Simple, beautiful transition from the Engadin (Scuol) to the Münstertal (Lü). On the route of the National Park bike marathon.

Can be ridden well with a gravel bike.

A nice pass. Great location, far from all the people and the hustle and bustle.

The ascent from S-Charl to the pass is easy but beautiful. The last part is single trail but easy to ride and really fun. We were on the road with the eBikes.

Amazing mountain pass entirely doable by bike from botto to top. If you pass by the infamous "Scuol climb" you probably will need to push you bike :)
