Details

Description

This is the "easiest" stage of the E-mountain bike route "National Park Region." It initially leads steadily to the right of the Inn, ascending and descending several times to Zernez, then on to Susch and Lavin. After crossing the Inn, there is a long but steady and pleasantly steep ascent to Guarda at 1653 m above sea level. Schellen-Urslis' hometown lies sun-soaked on a terrace and invites you to linger. From there to Bos-cha, the road is flat, followed by a short descent towards Ardez. Ardez is bypassed above, before the last climb over the ruins of Chanoua, past the valley entrance to Val Tasna, to Ftan is tackled. You regularly enjoy the wide view over Tarasp and Scuol to the Lower Engadine Dolomites. The final descent from Ftan to Scuol is occasionally a bit steep and requires some caution.
