Ascent 1700 m
Intro
The rocky path through Val d’Uina is world famous by now. This section is the undisputed highlight on the second stage of the Trans-Altarezia route.
Description
A narrow path runs right through a gigantic rock ledge. The picture is world famous and generally shows Val d’Uina. But it takes effort to get to this spectacular place. From Scuol you initially pedal down to Sur-En, turn right and work your way up a steep gravel path through the narrow valley.
After passing Alp Uina Dadaint, the road turns into a trail. A little bit further up, you are standing in front of the impressive cliff with an even more exciting path going right through the middle of it. On this section the bike should be walked. Anything else would be too dangerous. After the rocky passage, you can get back in the saddle and ride the last section up to Schlinig Pass. On the South Tyrolian side begins a brisk downhill passage through the Schlinig Valley. One last struggle is coming up: another 400 meters ascent high into Val Müstair to reach Sta. Maria, the next destination.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
