Piz Val Gronda, Mountain summit in Obersaxen Mundaun, Switzerland

Piz Val Gronda reaches an elevation of 2,818 meters in the Graubünden region, standing as the second highest mountain in the Obersaxen municipality.

The installation of the E5 cable car system in 2013 marked a significant development, connecting the Vesil valley to the summit with minimal environmental impact.

The mountain's name derives from Romansh language traditions, reflecting the deep connection between local communities and the Alpine landscape of Surselva district.

Visitors can access the summit through a marked hiking trail from St Martin, passing through Vorderalp at 2,010 meters before reaching the final chain-assisted scramble.

The cable car system spans 2,452 meters with only two supporting towers, incorporating eight avalanche protection structures and heated cabins for 150 passengers.
