Crestaulta, Bronze Age archaeological site in Lumbrein, Switzerland.

Located on a hill near the hamlet of Surin, Crestaulta exhibits three distinct settlement layers with remnants of ancient dwellings and structures.

Archaeologist Walo Burkart discovered and excavated the site between 1935 and 1938, revealing complex habitation patterns from 2000 to 1600 BC.

The excavated ceramic pots from Crestaulta define a specific Inner-alpine Bronze Age culture, representing early mountain communities in Switzerland.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through marked trails near Lumbrein, with seasonal access depending on weather conditions and local regulations.

The discovery of eleven women's graves at nearby Cresta Petschna contained specific artifacts including sewing needles, pendants, and decorated arm rings.
