Softly Mobile Holiday in Disentis/Mustér (Switzerland)

The History of the Alps in the Heart of the Grisons Canton

A “cordial beinvegni” to our guests here in Disentis. This is a greeting in the Romansh language, which is woven tightly into our cultural identity and our ancient tradition. The Via Lucamagn to the east of the Gotthard Mountain has been a major road connecting north and south since ancient times. Disentis still remains an important junction for international train traffic as well as long-distance hiking and biking. Experience our fascinating culture, enjoy its cosy atmosphere and delight in the many activities this village has to offer!

Winter days are dedicated to skiing, snowshoeing and ski touring through spectacular scenery. Hiking and mountain tours make up your summer adventures in this rugged terrain. The best way to start your trip is to board the Glacier Express and experience the Swiss mountains from inside the train. You’ll be rewarded with many breath-taking vistas of the great outdoors. At the source of the Rhine River, you will get a first-hand account of where this great river really starts. And after panning for gold for a while (maybe you’ll be lucky!!!), you can relax in one of our comfortable hotels and charming Alpine huts and delight in our culinary treats.
