Description

The area between the 3 mountain railways of Chur-Dreibündenstein (Brambrüesch), Pradaschier and Feldis is a paradise for snow shoeing.

The peak point where the different routes merge is the landmark of the Dreibündenstein at 2160 m, a stone monument to the freedom fighters of Graubünden, which marks the common border point of the former Three Leagues of Raetia. This signposted route goes from Brambrüesch to the Dreibündenstein and back to Brambrüesch (GR 4).
