Via Mundaun – 3 days winter hiking between Obersaxen and Lumbrein

The three-day winter hike Via Mundaun leads through one of the quietest and most authentic regions of the Surselva. Between snow-covered forests, sunny alpine pastures, and historic villages, winter shows its silent side.

From Friggahüs near Obersaxen, the route goes via the mountain restaurant Wali to the Kartitscha mountain station and down to Meierhof, always accompanied by the view of Piz Mundaun. On the second day, the path leads through typical Walser villages, past the chapel Sogn Carli to sunny Vella. There, luggage transport can be requested at the Hotel Central in Obersaxen.

The final stage climbs over the Davos Munts bathing lake to the Curschellas viewpoint before descending to Lumbrein with its landmark, the medieval residential tower Chisti da Lumerins.

Via Mundaun is a tour for all who seek tranquility, vastness, and authenticity. A winter hike away from the hustle and bustle, close to nature.

Option for stage 1:

• From and to Kartitscha, you can alternatively take the chairlift to save some descent and ascent meters.

Option for stage 3:

• From Vella, you can take the train to Triel. From there, the path leads downhill to Davos Munts, where a particularly beautiful panoramic view opens up.

• Those who wish can also extend the tour from Lumbrein to Vrin. The winter trail over Val da Mulin, Sogn Adriu, and Val Miedra is not machine-groomed but must be walked with snowshoes. After a longer dry period, the track is often hard and easily passable without snowshoes. However, after fresh snow, this section may (still) not be traced.
