Flims

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

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”.
