Val Müstair MTB weekend


Details
This weekend I am planning to explore the stunning area of Val Müstair on MTB, first by discovering some of the local trails and then ending with the crossing of the Pass da Costainas from the Ofenpass all the way to Scuol where we can catch the train back to Zurich.
If you would like to join, please read till the end and ensure that you make the necessary reservations for yourself:
- Accommodation (2 nights in Müstair) --> if you would like to stay in same hotel as me book in Hotel Chavalatsch
- pay attention to the compulsory bike spaces reservation requirements on public transport (trains/bus from/to Zurich + Bus from Müstair to the Ofenpass both mornings)
Note: I ride an e-assisted MTB.

## Riding level
Please do your own research and your own personal assessment
According to Outdoor Active the tours are S2:
Copied over from Outdooractive for reference:
S2 = Obstacles such as large rocks and roots. Soil is often loose. Steps are expected. Wider hairpin turns, gradient up to 70%.
Requires some advanced riding skills.
I am a relaxed rider, the goal of the tour for me is to enjoy the outdoors on MTB.
No racing.
# Important
I am not a guide and this is not a guided tour. You are expected to make your own assessment and ride responsibly and with consideration for fellow riders as well as hikers you may encounter on the paths.
This event is meant as a casual meetup of independent adults getting together over a common biking interest.
You participate on your own authority and entirely at your own risk. You particularly need to assure adequate assessment of the risks, preparation, equipment and insurance cover as if you were going by yourself.
