Pass da Costainas (Scuol)

The Pass da Costainas between the Lower Engadine and the Münstertal is one of the most famous routes in Switzerland. The trails are as fantastic as the mountain scenery.


Description

From Scuol, it is best to take the post bus to S-charl at the start, but you can also easily manage the ascent on the mountain road under your own steam. From S-charl, follow the alpine road along the Clemgia stream to Alp Tamangur. The last 220 vertical meters to the top of the pass are on a single trail through a dense pine forest. From the Costainas pass you ride down into the Münstertal valley, this route leads to Alp Champatsch, from where you have to climb another 300 meters in altitude to Alp da Munt and finally to Fuorcla Funtana da S-charl. The highest point is reached here and the long descent back to Scuol can begin. The singletrail, which is very flowy at the top and then becomes steeper and rougher, leads back to Alp Tamangur, and you reach the village of S-charl again on the ascent route. Now follow the mountain road until a singletrail above San Jon on the left rides downhill to Scuol. The tour can also be started in Tschierv in the Münstertal valley with the ascent to Alp Munt and the subsequent descent from Alp Champatsch.

Alternative: Descend from Alp Champatsch to Tschierv and via the Ofenpass road and Valplaun to Alp da Munt

Tip: Stop off in S-charl at one of the two inns with their excellent cuisine.

On the descent from Fuorcla Funtana da S-charl to Alp Astras / Tamangur, there is now an easy flow trail with good hairpin bends (S1) instead of the steep and rough single trail. It has been designed so that it can also be ridden uphill in the opposite direction (S2).
