Lag da Pigniu: the trail version

The elevation profile shows a constant up and down. We have also included two uphill trails and challenging descents. This makes this insider tip tour to the often-visited reservoir not only exciting, but also sweaty and somewhat challenging.

From Brigels, you ride up to the golf course and soon experience the first trails through the forest towards Flanz. Make sure you take the detour to Flanz (Adlerstein). This terrace with its surprising view is quite something. Shortly afterwards, at Ruina Grotta (Kropfenstein), we have planned the next detour. This can be reached on foot in two minutes. The ruins of the castle are virtually suspended under a rocky roof. We continue in quick succession. This time with an uphill trail in the direction of Andiast. If you don't like this trail, simply take the main road. After Andiast, take the road through the pretty mountain village of Andiast and on to Lag da Pigniu. A short uphill trail is also included here. From Sogn Giusep, this can be bypassed on the forest road. Although it is not very exciting from a biking point of view, you “must” ride to the end of the lake. The high rock faces with the imposing waterfall are most impressive here. Please note that the single trail around the lake is prohibited for bikes.

On the other side of the dam wall, however, you are rewarded with a short and steep trail. Now you can crank up again in the direction of Con Ault and then hurtle down a rarely used trail to Gneida. From Gneide (historic sawmill), another insider tip trail awaits you through the Val Mulin almost to the bottom of Migliè. And now? Roll out, back to Brigels.
