Details

Description

Fresh mountain air, beautiful wintry views, and delicious food in several dining options await you on this winter hiking trail on the sunny side of Flims. As the snow crunches under your shoes, panoramic sections and idyllic mountain forests alternate.


After a leisurely ride with the cable car to Foppa, this winter hike initially leads about 20 minutes uphill. From the Maiensäss settlement Salein, the highest point is already reached. Now it goes down through the forest to the plain above the Flem stream, and soon you stand in front of the mountain restaurant Runcahöhe, where the well-deserved stop awaits.


At some point, you should tear yourself away from the magical light in the late afternoon. For the descent back to Flims via winter hiking trail No. 3, plan about another hour.

Hidden Gem

Stop at the Runcahöhe restaurant and treat yourself to the fine delicacies.
