Flims has everything you could possibly need for a perfect mountain holiday: a varied landscape for hiking and biking and one of the best winter sports areas in all of Switzerland. In addition, there are natural wonders such as the Rhine Gorge, the Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona, Lake Cauma and Lake Cresta.
This is Flims
Flims is located in the south-east of Switzerland in the Canton of
Graubünden. The
Rhine Gorge and the lakes make the place a popular destination. Together with
Laax and
Falera, Flims is one of the most popular winter sports areas in Switzerland.
Discover Flims
As soon as you arrive in Flims, you will be amazed by the wild beauty of the Rhine Gorge. A long walk takes you from the centre with the iconic
Yellow House, the shops and restaurants to the quieter surroundings of Flims-Waldhaus. From the idyllic village of Fidaz, a hiking trail leads to the
high valley of Bargis, where you can sample Graubünden specialities like
Capuns,
Maluns or
Pizokel in a mountain restaurant. Alternative excursion: Take the cable car towards the
Segneshütte mountain retreat and learn more about one of the wonders of the natural world in the UNESCO pavilion dedicated to the “Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona”.
Rivers and lakes around Flims
The landscape around Flims is dotted with rivers and lakes. Follow the “
Wasserweg” hiking trail to learn why underground springs feed the Flims lakes. The Rhine Gorge is a genuine highlight: Passing through the Flims Forest with the turquoise blue
Caumasee, you will come to the
Il Spir viewing platform. From here you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Rhine Gorge, also known as the “Grand Canyon of Switzerland”.
