About Breil/Brigels
Breil/Brigels sits at 1,280 metres on a terrace north of the Vorderrhein valley, and Romansh is still the first language of most residents. Since a merger with Andiast and Waltensburg/Vuorz, the three villages are promoted together as a compact, family-friendly region, with Brigels as its centre and many things within walking distance. The homes are packed within about a kilometre, so you are in the village. Some have a sauna or a fireplace, and few have a garden. They are typically for around five people. In winter, Bergbahnen Brigels runs 13 lifts and 34 km of pistes, with a seven-kilometre run down to Waltensburg and the Miret snow bar at 2,100 metres. Cross-country trails and seven toboggan runs add variety. In summer, lifts from Waltensburg serve its hiking area instead.
