Details
Description
Take the chairlift at the Valley Station Brigels (Brigels Village) to get to the starting point of the Pradas winter hike "Crest Falla". You have to walk a few meters uphill to the starting point. Anyone already craving a hot drink or lunch can hike a bit higher in a few minutes to the mountain restaurant Burleun.
Upon reaching the groomed alpine road, the actual downhill route towards Brigels begins. The views of the other side of the Surselva valley are so beautiful that you might easily miss the many turns. It’s best to briefly check this route at every intersection. But basically, the path always leads downhill and always towards Brigels. The end of the route is at Flembach near Sogn Martin and not at the valley station of the cable cars. However, you can return to the valley station via the village street.
Those who prefer it sporty are welcome to take the route uphill under their feet.
Hidden Gem
Once you reach the winter hiking trail, you have the opportunity to discover various animal tracks in the deep snow. Tracks from hare to deer are visible. Do you know which track belongs to which animal? If not, later take the opportunity to ask a local hunter or farmer when you arrive in the village.
Safety Note
In uncertain weather conditions, the route should be avoided. Weather changes in the mountains are common. If a bad weather front or similar arises during the hike, you should turn back in time. We also advise against hiking in dense fog.
Please note that the route partially coincides with the toboggan run. Do not get disturbed and keep strongly to the left or right of the path in such situations.
Equipment
Provisions with hot drink, high and sturdy hiking boots or winter boots, warm clothing, sun protection, trekking poles are advantageous.
