The Mittenberg is an alp and a mountain pasture east above the city of Chur in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . It is located around 500 meters above the city on a terrace in a large forest clearing on the western flank of the Ochsenberg at an altitude of around 1100 meters.

A forest road leads from the Waldhaus psychiatric clinic to the Mittenberg. It can be reached from Chur on various hiking trails. Mittenberg is one of the destinations of the so-called Chur Maiensässfahrt , during which around 3000 school children in the city of Chur have been spending a carefree day on various Maiensässen since 1835.

The St. Luzikapelle is the only sacred building on Mittenberg .
