Situated in the Albula Alps, it is part of the wider Engadin region, though it lies west of the main Engadin valleys. The village is known for its traditional architecture, characterized by its well-preserved wooden houses, and its picturesque setting amidst alpine meadows and surrounding mountains.

Its remote and secluded location contributes to its charm, making it a destination for those seeking a peaceful escape in the Swiss Alps. The natural beauty and cultural heritage of Obermutten have made it a notable example of traditional Walser settlement in the region.
