The political municipality of Obersaxen-Mundaun is bilingual. A distinct Walser dialect is spoken in Obersaxen and further east, in Surcuolm, Romansh is spoken. Switzerland's “fourth national language” is also divided into five dialects. But don't worry, they also speak German with you!

Description

The first highlight of the tour is the dreamy Dachli lake. From there, the route climbs steadily up to the high plateau above the village of Surcuolm. The views from here are simply phenomenal. Especially when the sun sets behind the Brigelserhörner peaks in the evening.

The short gravel tour offers everything: well-maintained tarred roads, gravel tracks and narrow side roads, steep climbs and rapid descents, plenty of places to stop for refreshments and: Goldfish. Yes, you read that right! There are goldfish swimming in the small Dachli lake. That's why this detour is well worth it.

Geheimtipp

Waiting for the sunset is an insider tip, as are the goldfish in the beautiful Dachli lake.

Sicherheitshinweis

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.
