The Piz Mundin (formerly also Piz Mondin or German Mondiner Berg or Mundyn ) is one of the highest mountains in the Swiss Lower Engadine and the Samnaun group . Politically, he belongs to the municipality of Valsot .

From the beginning of modern times until 1868, the summit and its flanks were part of the Novellaberg conflict between Tyrol and Graubünden and between Austria and Switzerland.

Location and surroundings

The Piz Mundin rises as a long ridge over the Lower Engadine between Finstermünzpass and Martina . To the west of the mountain is the Val Sampuoir , the narrow valleys Val Saronna Gronda and Val Saronna Pitschna lead directly from the ridge to the north and northwest. In the long ridge of Piz Mundin, which extends from southwest to northeast, there are several peaks, of which the main peak is roughly in the middle. In the northeastern part of the ridge is the rugged needle of Clucher dal Mundin ( 3120  m above sea level ). The Piz Mezdi connects further northeast and the Piz Alpetta to the east .
