Obersaxen is a municipality in the district of Surselva in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It is spread out over a large plateau, and consists of over twenty small villages and farms. The principal village in Obersaxen is Meierhof. Obersaxen is a relatively large, but not particularly well-known ski resort. Despite the fact that it's quite close to the internationally popular resort of Flims-Laax, it is quite popular among locals and others who are "in-the-know", due to the quality of skiing and lack of the large crowds that are to be found in Flims.

abstract
  • Obersaxen is a municipality in the district of Surselva in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It is spread out over a large plateau, and consists of over twenty small villages and farms. The principal village in Obersaxen is Meierhof. Obersaxen is a relatively large, but not particularly well-known ski resort. Despite the fact that it's quite close to the internationally popular resort of Flims-Laax, it is quite popular among locals and others who are "in-the-know", due to the quality of skiing and lack of the large crowds that are to be found in Flims. Obersaxen was founded in the thirteenth century, when a group of German-speaking Walser settled the plateau. Right in the heart of the mainly Rumantsch-speaking Surselva (which encompasses the valley of the Vorderrhein, along with all of its side valleys, among others the Val Lumnezia), Obersaxen is an island of German speakers. The language spoken here is a very distinctive form of Swiss German, and is virtually incomprehensible to other Swiss people, and even much more so to speakers of standard German.
