Description

This new offer makes the breathtaking mountain world and nature on Brambrüesch accessible to people with walking disabilities. This opens up the possibility of experiencing the splendor of Brambrüesch regardless of mobility.
The all-terrain wheelchair has been specially developed for the challenges of rough terrain and offers maximum comfort and safety. With its robust tires, sturdy frame and two powerful electric motors, it can also tackle steeper and uneven paths. This opens up the possibility of exploring paths that were previously almost inaccessible. 

Bookable / Duration:

Bookable daily during the summer season, for a half-day rental:

  • Mornings: 9.00am–12.30pm
  • Afternoons: 1.00pm–4.30pm
  • For reservations at short notice, please contact the Chur mountain railroads by telephone (+41 81 250 55 90).

Costs:

  • CHF 20 / half day

Reservation / collection:
The wheelchair can be hired by prior arrangement. It is collected and returned at the Brambrüesch mountain station, with brief instructions on how to use the wheelchair safely. The rechargeable battery enables trips of around three to four hours. Children from the age of four can use the wheelchair with a child seat if accompanied by a parent or guardian. The child seat must be brought along. There is a wheelchair-accessible WC in the Brambus-Center. 

Directions

From the mountain station, the Edelweiss circular hike first leads flat to the Bergbaiz and the Brambus Center. The route then descends gently along the Palusweg. Follow the Seznisweg to the Edelweisshütte and from there take the Alpweg back to the Brambus Center and the top station of the gondola lift. The peaks above Lenzerheide mark the horizon. The way back to the starting point leads along a forest road. In addition to several mountain restaurants, Brambrüesch offers a moorland course, a children's playground and a Swiss family fireplace.
