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

Description

The first highlight on the route is the dreamy Dachlisee. From there, the trail continuously climbs up to the high plateau above the village of Surcuolm. From here, the view is simply phenomenal. Especially in the evening mood when the sun sets behind the Brigelserhörner.

The short gravel route offers everything: well-developed paved roads, gravel tracks and narrow side roads, steep ascents and fast descents, plenty of places to stop and: goldfish. Yes, you read that right! Goldfish swim in the small Dachlisee. So this detour is definitely worth it.

Hidden Gem

Waiting for the sunset is a insider tip, as are the goldfish in the beautiful Dachlisee.

Safety Note

The route should not be started in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes in the mountains are common. If a rain front or similar approaches during the hike, you should turn back in time.
