Sunny Side Tour: Brigels-Ladral-Pigniu-Rueun-Brigels (Gravel)

A constant up and down shapes the first part of this diverse route from Brigels into the natural paradise Ladral. The descent to Andiast gets the brake discs up to operating temperature before the ascent to the Panix reservoir demands the thighs again. Once at the top, the lake invites you to a well-deserved break. Afterwards, it rolls comfortably down into the charming village of Pigniu (Romansh for Panix). The last section leads uphill again and back to Brigels.

The route is planned so that the ascents mostly take place on pleasant gravel, while the descents mostly run on solid ground. Of course, the round trip can also be done in reverse direction – or combined with an alternative starting point such as Rueun.

At the reservoir “Lag da Pigniu”, be sure to take the time to follow the gravel road to the end of the valley. The steep rock walls and the roaring waterfall at the valley's end are an impressive natural spectacle – a moment to pause and marvel.
