Disc Golf in Samnaun: Ranked 2nd in Switzerland and Swiss Championships in August

This is a strong sign for Samnaun: the course is winning over not only local visitors but also the international disc golf community. The next highlight is already on the horizon: the 2026 Swiss Disc Golf Championships will take place in Samnaun from 14 to 16 August, with registration opening on 18 May 2026.

This ranking is particularly valuable for Samnaun because it comes from one of the most important platforms in disc golf. UDisc describes itself as an app for disc golfers and analyses millions of ratings to compile its leaderboards. According to UDisc, 55 courses were included in the 2026 Swiss rankings. The analysis is based on more than 6.5 million ratings from over 1 million unique disc golfers worldwide. Samnaun ranks second in this national list.

It is no coincidence that Samnaun ranks so highly in the UDisc rankings. The disc golf infrastructure in the holiday region is extensive: at the Vitaparcours in Samnaun village, there is an 18-hole family course and an 18-hole pro layout. Added to this is the 9-hole course at the Alptrider Sattel. All courses are freely accessible.

The combination of courses is particularly appealing. Samnaun refers to it as a 27-hole disc golf safari: first, players tackle part of the pro layout at the fitness trail, then take the cable car up to the Alptrider Sattel for nine more holes, before finishing the round back in the valley. This creates a disc golf experience that combines sporting variety with an alpine backdrop.

The family course is suitable for beginners, whilst ambitious players will find additional challenges in the pro layout, which has been in place since summer 2024. This was designed by the well-known Swiss disc golfer Martin ‘BEO’ Jenny. 

The next major event will take place on this very course in August: the Swiss Disc Golf Championships Samnaun 2026 will be held from 14 to 16 August 2026 on the pro layout at the Vitaparcours. The programme includes a tournament weekend featuring three rounds over 18 holes, optional doubles and side competitions, as well as the final on Sunday. A maximum of 120 starting places are available.

Registration opens on 18 May 2026 at 8.00 pm via Disc Golf Metrix. The first phase is open to Swiss players or those eligible for medals who hold a valid SDA and PDGA licence and meet specific rating requirements. From 1 June 2026, registration will be open to all categories. The Open, Masters, Women’s and Junior categories are available. The title matches in Samnaun are also listed in the tournament calendar of Swiss Disc Golf, the Swiss governing body for the sport.

By finishing second at UDisc and the 2026 Swiss Disc Golf Championships, Samnaun has demonstrated that the destination has a distinct identity even in the summer. The combination of disc golf, mountain scenery and well-developed infrastructure makes Samnaun just as appealing to recreational players as it is to ambitious competitive players. Anyone wishing to experience high-level disc golf in Switzerland will find the ideal conditions in Samnaun during the summer – and in August, they’ll even find a championship atmosphere on one of the country’s finest courses.
