Tips from the Community
The Lag da Breil, or Brigelsersee in German, lies at around 1,255 m above sea level, directly above Brigels. The lake, approximately 500 meters long and up to 140 meters wide, was created as a reservoir in 1946 and is used for energy production. The lake is fed and drained by the Flem river. Despite its function as a reservoir, the Lag da Breil appears very idyllic and blends beautifully into the landscape around Brigels. A pleasant walking path leads all the way around the lake. Important: Swimming is not allowed in the reservoir.

Brigels, in Romansh Breil, lies on a sunny terrace at around 1,300 m above sea level and, with its old houses around the parish church, has certainly retained its original village character. However, I also noticed today that Brigels is significantly more tourist-oriented than I had expected. Numerous holiday apartments, hotels, and tourist facilities are located around the village. As a result, the place sometimes seems less quiet and original than one might expect from a mountain village. Nevertheless, Brigels is beautifully situated in terms of landscape and offers a good starting point for hikes in the Surselva.

Trun may at first glance look like just a charming Alpine village, but history was written here. Under a maple tree—the tree that Trun also bears in its coat of arms—one of the Three Leagues was sealed here in 1424, making Trun part of a free state in Graubünden that lasted until the 18th century. When visiting this Swiss gem, be sure to also note the sculpture trail and the walk-in sculpture by artist Matias Spescha.

In the beautiful little village of Surrein it is worth taking a look at the church of St. Placidus. The baroque furnishings are impressive.
