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.

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”.
