Passo Gallo
Description
From Sta Maria, take the marked cycle route up to the Ofen Pass, optionally also by post bus. Immediately after the pass summit, the singletrail leads to Buffalora, where the steep ascent to Juf Plaun begins. The plateau is the starting point for the singletrail descent past the Alpe del Gallo and the wonderful high-level trail towards the Passo di Fraéle. Shortly before this, you branch off to the left, pass the Passo Val Mora, reach the Val Mora via a first-class singletrail and climb up to Döss Radond. The long descent back to Sta. Maria begins here. Follow the signposted mountain bike route, but take the singletrail alternatives wherever possible. Once you reach the ridge far below, a singletrail branches off to the right. This fun trail leads directly to the main road between Valchava and Sta. Maria - a real trail firework at the end.
Alternative: From Jufplaun directly into Val Mora and shorten the route considerably (corresponds to Val Mora tour).

Follow the single trails instead of the pass road on the ascent from Tschierv by e-bike. Beautiful scenery, quite steep at times and close to the traction limit. Teasing...
The trail at Lago di Livigno is narrow and exposed and has a short slippery section and a waterfall that can be tricky depending on the water level.
The scenery is really great, you feel like you're in Canada at times. Not the biggest technical challenge. Everything is rideable in June 2023, the trails on the Italian side have been repaired.
Always an extremely scenic and rewarding tour: https://youtu.be/OE2AxJJ8YIs
Easy to ride, only dangerous in the rain !!!
You can save yourself the detour via Passo Gallo on the Val Mora tour. The trail down is a gravel path without difficulty (S1). At the moment there are several trees crossing the path, but all of them can be bypassed. Once at the bottom, there are dangerous river crossings and washed-out paths. There is a risk of falling due to the washed-out paths. In my opinion, not worthwhile and too dangerous.
