2-3 days trekking, Sedrun-Mutschnengia-Disentis-Sedrun

Day 1: We start in Sedrun with packed snowshoes and hike to the year-round inhabited hamlet Cavorgia. On a marked snowshoe trail, it goes on a snow-covered road through a wildlife sanctuary; the incline is moderate. In Stagias, we get a view into the neighboring valley Val Medel with the village Curaglia, located at the foot of a mighty mountain range. We continue on the path to Alp Pazzola, the highest point of the tour. No tree or shrub blocks the deep view down to Sedrun and Disentis. At the alpine huts, we find a sheltered spot for a long rest. We hike back to Stagias on the same route, then we are allowed to cross the open field to Mutschnengia and make our own track in the snow. Tired and satisfied, we reach the Hotel Cuntera, where we are warmly welcomed. (Reservation: info@hotel-cuntera.ch)

Day 2: We wear the snowshoes only briefly until we reach the trail that leads us on the historic Lukmanier pass route to Mompé Medel, a small Walser settlement overlooking Disentis. From winter 2024/25, a new, spectacular suspension bridge will cross the Rhine here, saving us many vertical meters up and down. At the chapel Sontga Gada, we reach the winter hiking path, which we follow to Disentis. We have booked an overnight stay at the Disentis monastery and look forward to this extraordinary lodging.

Day 3: We start again with packed snowshoes over quarter paths to Segnas. At the upper end of the village, the trail begins and leads us to the picturesque Alp Prau Sura. But there is still the ascent to the viewpoint Plaung Grond/ Bostg. The end point is located slightly below the actual summit, but the view of mountain and valley is still impressive. The descent to Mompé Tujetsch is very easy. Those who wish can take the train to Sedrun for the rest of the tour, but we put on our snowshoes and hike back to Sedrun on the winter hiking trail.

A wonderful winter route on foot is concluded.

In Stagias stands the wooden building of Academia Vivian, on whose steps one can enjoy a wonderful break. Behind the Hotel Cuntera, a larch wood suspension bridge crosses an impressive gorge.

On the access road, we reach Cavorgia from Sedrun in about 45 minutes. From here, the entire trail is marked in pink. We follow the route towards Stagias. At the first junction, we keep the direction and the route makes a longer loop into a small valley. We now arrive at a clearing with a few alpine huts. Shortly afterwards, there is a junction. Here we keep right uphill and stay on the path to Stagias. At the intersection, we turn right and follow the signs to Alp Pazzola. The same way back to Stagias. Then the route leads along a snow-covered road to Mutschnengia. After the village, we walk on the access road until we reach the signage for the snowshoe trail on the left side of the road. At first, it is a snow-covered farm track, later we follow the hiking trail. Shortly after the commemorative plaque for the historic route, the path ascends to the left and leads us out of the forest to a toboggan run. We walk for a few minutes on or next to this path. Then the signage directs us over a ridge to Mompé Medel. Over the new suspension bridge, we reach the chapel Sontga Gada and continue to Disentis. From here, we walk on quarter paths to Segnas. Then with snowshoes according to signage to Plaun Grond (end slightly below the summit) When descending from Prau Sura, take the route to Mompé Tujetsch. From here, walk back to Sedrun on the winter hiking trail or take the train back.
