About Disentis
Disentis, called Mustér in Romansh, sits at 1,130 m in the upper Surselva on the Upper Rhine, with about 2,000 residents, most of them Romansh speakers. The Benedictine abbey, one of the oldest in Switzerland, is the best-known sight. Roads from the Oberalp and Lukmanier passes meet here, and so do the railway lines from Chur and Brig. The ski area has 53 km of pistes between 1,227 and 2,833 m, with gentle runs at Gendusas for beginners, deep-snow slopes at Péz Alv and three mountain restaurants. Summer brings about 150 km of hiking trails. Our homes are in and around the village, mostly small apartments and houses for four. Some have a pool or sauna.
