Description

From the mountain station Kartitscha, the panoramic trail leads over the terrace of Obersaxen to the east towards Piz Mundaun. The route offers breathtaking views of the mountain scenery of Brigels as well as the peaks of the snow sports area Obersaxen Mundaun. In Untermatt you can visit Leo's Snack Bar. Via Gischniga you will reach the mountain inn Cuolm Sura, right next to the Kinderland. A short descent will take you to Surcuolm. However, we recommend that you continue the hike at this altitude in order not to miss the magnificent view over the Ilanzer Plain and the Rhine Gorge. The trail continues to the historic mountain restaurant Grisons Rigi. Passing the chapel of Sogn Carli, you enter the Valley of Light – the Val Lumnezia. Return from Morissen or Vella via Ilanz by post bus.

Hidden Gem

Kartitscha can be reached by chairlift from Meierhof. Alternatively, from Misanenga Winderwanderweg No. 2 up to Untermatt, or No. 3 to Gischniga.
