Probably in relation to the MTB sport par excellence, the 'one & only' day all-mountain route, which deserves this predicate, with the starting position to build a bridge between the Ofenpass in Val Müstair and S-Chanf in the Upper Engadine.

Description

And you as a rider also have the necessary endurance and stamina, similar to a crack. If the latter conditions are not met, I see you at the foot of the Chaschauna Pass up to the top of the pass above a good 600 (six hundred!) Hm pushing the bike next to you in one piece... .
The natural scenery from the Passo Gallo (via the most direct path from the Ofen Pass over the Jufplaun) and especially with the adjacent Val del Gallo is one of the most beguiling that this region has to offer. The latter mood is perhaps most similar to a cliché of Canada's Rocky Mountain.
If you want to take a more 'sensible' approach from Passo di Fraéle up to Passo di Valle Alpisella, you are better off with the bypass running parallel to the left to P2230, but you have to make do with a gravel path instead of a single trail.

At the southern tip of Lake Livigno lies the only larger village of Livigno. This Italian place is popular with pizza pasta tourists because they also benefit from duty-free shopping there.

The way back to Switzerland leads first to the Valle Federia, then to the Rifugio Casanna and over the Chaschauna Pass (2694m) and puts even top bikers to the test: 800 m steep gravel path up to the Chaschauna Pass (600 m of which are ultra-steep, then a somewhat tricky downhill in the uppermost part with about 15 hairpin bends. But as soon as you reach the valley stream 'Ova da Chaschauna', the pulse rate drops significantly.

The last few kilometers to S-Chanf leads via a high-altitude path through the forest. S-Chanf's inhabitants mainly speak turkey (an idiom of Romansh) and German (Graubünden dialect). In addition, there are Italian and Portuguese, languages of immigrants living in S-chanf.
