Aerial photo (1954)

The community can be reached from Zernez in the Engadine via the Ofen Pass . The border with Vinschgau ( South Tyrol ) runs east of Müstair and also forms the Romansh-German language border. The local community Taufers in the Münstertal also belongs geographically to the Münstertal. The Umbrailpass leads from Santa Maria into Valtellina . The Rambach (Romanesque Rome ) flows through the valley .

The valley is divided into three parts, which are named as follows:

  • Terzal d'Aint (inner third) with Tschierv, Fuldera and Lü
  • Terzal d'Immez (middle third) with Valchava and Sta. Maria
  • Terzal d'Oura (outer third) with Müstair

This division also corresponds to the three plateaus that can be found on the Swiss side of the valley.
