About Surcuolm (Obersaxen)
Surcuolm is a village at about 1,346 metres on the Obersaxen plateau. It merged with Flond in 2009 to form Mundaun, which joined Obersaxen in 2016 as Obersaxen Mundaun. The plateau is a sun terrace about 12 kilometres long, between roughly 1,070 and 1,430 metres, and Obersaxen is a typical Walser community with 29 farms. Homes sit close together around the village, mostly sleeping four, with a sauna in many and a fireplace in a good share. Summer brings hiking and bike trails, scooter rides and gold panning, and the long Mundaun range is good for skiing too.
