Best Obersaxen Mundaun Snowboarding

Southeast of Zurich and west of Chur, the Obersaxen Mundaun ski area has 30+ pistes totalling 120km that are served by 18 lifts accessing a maximum descent of 1,100m. This ski area is popular with beginner and intermediate snowboarders.

The Obersaxen-Mundaun ski area is located southwest of the town of Ilanz. It is slightly up on a plateau and accessible via ski bus. There are several base areas including Sasolas, Valata, Misanenga, Chummenbuhl, Meierhof and Vella. While snowboarding here, watch out for the runs off Piz-Sezner summit (#46/#47) -- some lead to Areass with no return lift.

After a long morning of snowboarding, try the Berghutte Piz Mundaun, Restaurant Wali and Berggasthaus Triel. And, for apres ski, check out the Sternenbar.

Tip - If you are planning to snowboard the Obersaxen area for a week, you may want the Surselva Safari ski pass which also allows snowboarding at Brigels-Waltensburg, which is across the valley.

Overall, Obersaxen Mundaun is the 42nd most popular snowboard & freeride destination of all 81 snowboarding resorts in Switzerland.
