Crossing the meadows where saffron is grown, this walk around the village of Mund is an opportunity to learn more about production, harvesting and use thereof.

The Saffron Educational Trail begins at the village centre (Mund Village post office bus stop). From there, the trail sets out on a tranquil and circular route running through saffron fields and meadows, and with an impressive view of the Rhone Valley. During the approximately 90-minute hike, there are currently six stations with plaques providing information about Mund saffron cultivation in German and French. Visitors will learn why this wonderful product can only be picked and processed by hand, as well finding out about its worst enemies. The plaques convey bite-sized information about the history, origin, culinary properties, cultivation and processing of saffron, as well as about botany and the Mund tradition. The Saffron Educational Trail is an entertaining hiking opportunity which is ideally suited for family outings. Part of the trail is wheelchair-accessible.

The Mund saffron museum is a museum within a museum. The historic barn in which the museum is located was built in the year 1437 and is among the oldest wooden buildings in Switzerland. The museum shows saffron cultivation, from the hard work in the field to the culinary speciality which is ultimately produced. You can view the equipment which is used to cultivate and harvest saffron and learn about the harvest, saffron products and the unique qualities of Mund saffron (combined cultivation of saffron and winter rye). The museum has special opening hours in October during the saffron harvest. The museum is also open throughout the year, upon request, for groups of 10 persons or more.
