Wanderweg von der Puntegliashütte nach Brigels

The crown of the Surselva is an impressive and partly challenging circular hike from hut to hut in Graubünden. It connects the seven mountain huts in the Surselva – the Vorderrheintal between Flims and the Rhine source at the Oberalppass, including the valleys of Vals, Lumnezia, and Medel.
