Brigels
The holiday resort of Brigels is nestled high above the Vorderrhein, on the sunny side of the Surselva. The rather narrow mountain road from Tavanasa ascending to Brigels is not conducive to mass tourism, therefore, the picturesque village is quiet and serene.

Brigels – Burleun – Alp Dada - Andiast

The winter hike begins in the heart of the village and takes you at first via several loops to Burleun. From the terrace of the mountain restaurant Burleun you will have a sweeping view of the peaks of Graubünden’s Oberland. Hike the slightly ascending trail to the highest point of the Alp Dada. Accompanied by magnificent vistas of Piz Riein and Piz Fess, which preside high above Ilanz, you will now enjoy the descent to Andiast. In this picture-perfect mountain village the fascinating Rhaeto-Romanic language is predominantly spoken in the local pub.
Start at the bus stop of Brigels Posta and follow the hiking path in the direction of Alp Quader. At the church turn right and hike towards Alp Quader. Hike straight ahead on the slightly ascending path. At the mid-station of Burleun, continue hiking straight ahead. At Restaurant Burleun follow the trail to Alp Dada. Before you reach Alp Dada, turn right and walk towards Andiast. Continue on the straight path to Andiast. Turn right and walk towards Andiast. There is regular bus service from Andiast Posta to Ilanz.
