Details

Description

Fidaz, situated above Flims, offers easy access to the Flimserstein via the new Milchseilbahn cable car, which takes hikers directly up to the alp where the ‘Pinut’ via ferrata ends. The narrow footpath continues upwards across meadows and past karst rock, heading towards the Cassonsgrat. Now and then, the path runs close to the precipice and the view of the Bargis Valley below and the surrounding mountains, such as the Trinserhorn and the Ringelspitz, is magnificent. From Cassonsgrat, the route heads back down the other side, high above Flims, until you reach the Milchseilbahn again. With a bit of luck, you might spot grazing ibexes
