About this place
Bostg, also known as Piz Plaun Grond, is a forested viewpoint summit above Disentis/Mustér in the Surselva region of Graubünden, Switzerland. The Romansh name means "forest", and the slopes live up to it: dense spruce woodland covers the mountain almost to the top. The summit sits just under 2,000 m, with sources quoting between 1,955 and 1,995 m.
What can you see from Bostg?
The ridge looks over the Vorderrhein valley, the Disentis and Sedrun area and the surrounding Alpine peaks. Around Caischavedra the trail crosses meadows known for their wildflowers. Lower down, lookout spots such as the one above the hamlet of Laus (about 1,590 m) give earlier glimpses of the valley.
How do you hike up Bostg?
The classic panoramic route is roughly 8.8 km and takes about 3.5 hours. It follows the Senda Pauli high trail to Caischavedra and continues to the summit. The regional tourist board rates it medium difficulty. A longer option starts at Disentis Monastery and climbs through forest to Caischavedra before the final push. You can descend via Mompé Tujetsch, or shorten the day with the cable car or rail.
Is there a cable car?
A cable car serves Caischavedra on a seasonal basis. One operator lists it as running from early July to mid-October. Check the current timetable before you go, as dates shift.
Will you share the trail with bikes?
Yes, in places. Bostg Trail and enduro routes from Disentis use the same hillside, so expect mountain bikers on some stretches and give way on bends.
When should you visit?
Summer and early autumn suit hikers best, when the lift runs and the paths are snow-free. In winter a signposted snowshoe trail starts from Segnas.
