About 1500 meters of elevation gain and 1500 meters of descent. That’s not bad. Here we present the variant via the newly developed trail from Tegia Dado to Undermatt. The descent thus offers a higher proportion of trails and more distance compared to the direct descent from Piz Mundaun.

Description

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

The ascent is done by PostBus from Ilanz to Surcuolm and then by train from Cuolm Sura to Piz Mundaun. Only about 300 meters of elevation must be climbed under your own power, from Surcuolm to Cuolm Sura and a short stretch from Flond.

Nevertheless, you can save 1100 meters of climb without having to feel guilty about not pedaling at all. Many partly newly built single trails, short parts over alpine roads and forest paths bring you back to the starting point in less than two hours, where most conclude that not only the view was remarkable.

Attention: shortly before Luven there is a detour due to rockfall danger. This is clearly signposted in the terrain and the route has been adapted accordingly. The village of Luven is bypassed. However, those wishing to visit Luven must pedal a short uphill stretch.

Hidden Gem

Please note the operating hours of the Obersaxen mountain railways.

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

Between Cuolm Sura and Flond, there are marked variants indicated with blue, red, or black. Choose freely. Shortly afterwards you will be back on the normal route.

With an e-MTB, you can even ride all the way up to Piz Mundaun - technically partly demanding but awesome...

Stop for refreshments at Leo’s Snackbar in Undermatt with e-bike charging station - so you can continue riding afterwards...

Safety Note

Do not start the route in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a rain front or similar approaches during the route, you should turn back in good time.

Respect other trail users - trail tolerance!

MTB, helmet, gloves, bike shoes, glasses, rain and sun protection, drink, repair kit, first aid kit
