From Lü over the Costainer pass to S-Charl, then onwards to pick up bus to Scuol.
Distance 19.2 km
We took the post bus to Lü, with a good view of the Val de Müstair on the way. Leaving Lü, we set off up the old pass road, initially a wide road. Further on, after pausing to watch a Marmot family at play, we started to go steeper uphill until getting to the pass itself. We shared the way with quite a few cyclists - it seemed a popular cycling route! On the other side of the pass, we went through an ancient Arven forest, unusual in being at such a high altitude. From there is was a pleasant walk down to S-Charl, a former mining village and summer alpine village, now a tourist resort. From there, we went down the road, catching a post bus back to Scuol, as the rock and gravel slides made for difficult going.
