01/ Overview

The route

The final stage of the Via Mundaun takes you deeper into the sun-drenched Lumnezia. Once you complete the final ascent to Curschellas, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking view into the valley. Your destination is Lumbrein, the perfect end to a spectacular winter hike through Surselva.

The roughly ten-kilometre winter hike begins at the Vella, Sumsiaras bus stop. The route soon leaves the houses of Vella behind and climbs across the open slopes of Val Lumnezia. After the first ascent, it passes directly by the Davos Munts Seecafé before finally leaving the settled area behind.

The route continues uphill across meadows and pastures, with around 540 metres of ascent in total. Just over two-thirds of the way along, it reaches its highest point at approximately 1,740 m; Piz Sezner is the nearest peak here. The trail then gradually descends, traversing the broad slopes towards Lumbrein.

Towards the end, the first houses of the village draw closer. On the southern edge of Lumbrein, the medieval Chisti residential tower stands not far from the route. After a little over three and a half hours, the winter hike ends at the Lumbrein, vitg bus stop.

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Winter hiking is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
