Hiking trail on the Via Engiadina from Zernez to Brail.
Distance 7.5 km

After the bridge at the campsite, the sunny trail on the Via Engiadina leads slightly uphill via Prazet along lush flower meadows to Brail. A sunny hike suitable for prams with views of the Inn or the National Park on the opposite side of the valley.

Author’s recommendation

Brail – the small fraction of Zernez is home to the smallest 5-star superior hotel in Switzerland.
