Obersaxen Mundaun
Intro
The region of Obersaxen Mundaun is a vacation destination for experiencing nature and culture. The hamlets of Obersaxen (a typical Walser community with 29 farms) and Mundaun (Surcuolm & Flond) are located on a 12 km long sun terrace at 1,072 to 1,430 meters above sealevel.
Description
The long Mundaun mountain range is an attractive hiking and skiing region. Innumerable hiking and bike trails give visitors a great deal to discover. A speedy scooter ride, a game of Pit Pat, an opportunity for gold panning and observing animals in the wild offer thrills and entertainment.
The deep gorges in this area prevented people from attending church services in the central hamlet of Meierhof, so 15 Baroque chapels were built in the “outposts” of Obersaxen. Today, a Walser Trail and a Chapels Trail tell the exciting history of the settlement.
Winter
In the snow-assured skiing area between Piz Mundaun (2064 m) and Piz Sezner (2310 m), winter sports fans will find 17 lifts and 120 km of slopes, mostly easy or average, at heights of from 1200 m to 2300 m. The joys of winter can also be experienced by non-skiers on 85 km of winter walks and numerous sledging runs.
Summer
In the charming scenery of this region, there are countless opportunities for hiking and a number of interesting themed walks. A hikers’ bus brings walkers to the starting point for their excursion. For mountain bikers, there is a network of marked routes in this region. For excursions, the Valser valley with its new thermal baths, the holiday region of Flims, the monastery at Disentis or the town of Chur are all within easy reach.
Family
A particular recommendation for families: the high-speed scooter downhill from Wali, gold washing at the Lumbrein Bridge, or a visit to the Rufalipark recreation facility. During the summer and autumn holidays, an exciting children's programme ensures a cheerful mood among younger visitors.
