Piz Mundaun, Mountain summit in Grisons, Switzerland
Piz Mundaun is a 2063-meter mountain peak in the Lepontine Alps that you can reach by several hiking routes. From the summit, you can see across much of the surrounding Alpine terrain.
Since medieval times, this peak has served as a landmark that helped travelers navigate through the Swiss Alps. Its location made it a natural reference point in the landscape.
On the slopes, you can see how local farmers still manage Alpine pastures where cows graze and milk gets turned into cheese using methods passed down through generations.
The main route is well marked and manageable for hikers with some mountain experience. A mountain shelter sits just below the peak where you can rest or stay overnight.
In winter, ski racers use the slopes here to train on terrain facing different directions, which offers varied snow and light conditions throughout the day.
