Tellakopf
Description
In this case, the tour starts in the Münstertal valley, but it can also be tackled in the Vinschgau valley. From the starting point in Müstair, you initially roll out of the valley on the cycle path (with a short additional singletrail section) to the valley floor of the Vinschgau Valley. Now begins the long and sometimes steep ascent to the Laatscher Alm mountain hut. This is initially asphalted, then turns into a gravel road. After the alpine pasture, it gets a little rougher until you turn off onto a single trail at a bridge. You now have to push up 200 meters in altitude to the Tellajoch. If you are on an e-bike, you can always pedal for a short stretch and then use the pushing aid again. The Tellajoch with its original viewing platform is the starting point for the singletrail descent into Val Müstair. Those with a taste for summits can push the bike up to the meadowy Tellakopf with its great views of the upper Vinschgau Valley, the Ortler and Val Müstair.
The descent leads down to the Tellaalm via a beautiful S2 singletrail. This is followed by a short gravel road section before turning right onto a tricky serpentine trail. The descent seems to zigzag endlessly, with the rear wheel having to be offset in many bends. In places, the trail is a little overgrown in summer. However, there is no alternative for singletrail fans, as the only way around this section would be via the alpine road. Finally, you reach a gravel road via the serpentine path, but then immediately take the signposted path to Taufers. This leads down to the village circular route, which finally takes you back to Müstair.

The Tellajoch, the trail pearl (from Latschen Alm) is closed to MTB bikers - see Mals 2017 regulation - it's not cool that it is "promoted" in the ride. So the few remaining trails around Mals will probably be closed soon too!!!
Really overgrown - with stinging nettles and tall thistles. Long-sleeved jersey is worth it.....
