Description

The descent from Camona da Punteglias opens impressive views downwards and passes two rushing waterfalls. Chains provide additional safety at exposed places. Further down, the rough rocky landscape changes into gentle meadows. In the distance, Piz Medel and Piz Vial shine. Through shady forests, it goes to Alp da Schlans, where the view opens into the Vorderrheintal. Shortly before Brigels, there is a small mountain lake before descending to the village at 1300 m on a forest road.

Brigels offers various accommodation options.
