Around hunter vertical meters and 1500 depth meters. That's not bad. Here we present the variant via the newly developed trail from Tegia Dado to Undermatt. The descent therefore offers a higher proportion of trail and more distance compared to the direct descent from Piz Mundaun.

Description

The view is remarkable, considering that the Piz Mundaun is just 2064 meters high, you can see from the summit down to Ilanz station at 699 meters. This variant via Undermatt results in a full 1500 meters of descent - and this over an even higher proportion of single trails.

The ascent is by post bus from Ilanz to Surcuolm and by train from Cuolm Sura to Piz Mundaun. Only around 300 meters in altitude have to be mastered under your own steam. This is from Surcuolm to Cuolm Sura and a short stretch from Flond.

At least you can save 1100 meters of ascent without having to put up with the accusation that you didn't pedal at all. Many single trails, some of them newly built, short sections on alpine roads and forest paths take you back to the starting point in less than two hours, where most people sum up that it wasn't just the view that was remarkable.

Caution: There is a detour shortly before Luven due to the risk of falling rocks. This is clearly signposted in the terrain and the route has been adapted accordingly. The village of Luven is thus bypassed. However, if you still want to visit Luven, you will have to pedal up a short ascent.

Geheimtipp

Please note the operating times of the Obersaxen mountain railroads

A visit to the viewing platform on Piz Mundaun is definitely worthwhile.

There are signalized variants between Cuolm Sura and Flond. These are marked blue, red or black. Choose freely. A little later you are back on the normal route.

You can even ride all the way up to Piz Mundaun on an e-MTB - technically challenging in places but great...

Stop off at Leo's Snackbar in Undermatt with an e-bike charging station - so that you can continue riding afterwards...

Sicherheitshinweis

Respect other trail users - trail tolerance!

The tour should not be undertaken in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes are frequent in the mountains. If a rain front or similar is approaching during the hike, you should turn back in good time.
