Muottas Muragl, Mountain peak in Grisons, Switzerland.
Description
Muottas Muragl is a mountain peak reaching 2,453 meters (8,050 feet) in the Upper Engadin valley, offering expansive views of lakes, glaciers, and surrounding ridges. The summit is accessible via a mountain railway that runs from the valley floor to the top.
History
The location began attracting visitors in 1867 for its panoramic views, leading to the construction of a funicular railway in the early 1900s. This infrastructure made the summit accessible to people who could not complete a full hiking climb.
Culture
The Philosophers' Trail winds across the slope with inscribed philosophical reflections set into the landscape, inviting walkers to pause and think during their hike.
Practical
The railway operates throughout the day with frequent departures, and tickets can be purchased online or at the valley station. Bring layers and a windbreaker, as temperatures drop significantly at altitude, and sturdy shoes are advisable for any trail walking.
Did you know?
A rock glacier near the summit moves slowly each year, a phenomenon that becomes visible to hikers walking past the site. This ongoing shifting shows how mountain terrain continuously transforms over time.
