Details

Description

Fresh mountain air, wonderful winter views and delicious food at several refreshment stops await you on this winter hiking trail on the sunny side of Flims. While the snow crunches under your boots, sections with stunning views alternate with idyllic mountain forests.

After a leisurely ride on the mountain railway to Foppa, this winter hike initially leads uphill for around 20 minutes. The highest point is already reached from the alp hut settlement of Salein. The route now descends through the forest to the plain above the Flem stream and soon you are standing in front of the Runcahöhe mountain restaurant, where a well-earned refreshment stop awaits.

At some point, you should take a break from the magical late afternoon light. The descent back to Flims via winter hiking trail no. 3 takes another hour or so.

Geheimtipp

Stop off at the Runcahöhe restaurant and let yourself be spoilt by the fine delicacies.
