Description

This fast and winding descent leads through the forest and over a slope specially prepared for sledding back to the valley station in Flims. The Foppa - Flims sledding slope is very well accessible by chairlift. The sledding adventure starts just a few steps from the valley station.

Frequent sledders get their money's worth here. Because as soon as you are down, the efficient chairlift takes you back up to Foppa. The sledding path down to Flims is about three kilometers long.

Night sledding

Even when it gets dark, the sledding slope from Foppa to Flims is far from over.

December: Sunday, 27 December to Wednesday, 30 December (daily)

January: Tuesdays and Saturdays

February: Tuesdays and Saturdays

March: Tuesdays and Saturdays

From 6:00 pm - last ride up is at 8:30 pm.

Directions

The descent starts below the restaurant at Berghaus Foppa, then takes you through the forest and over a slope specially prepared for sledding back to the starting point at the valley station in Flims.

After starting below the restaurant Berghaus Foppa, it winds along the foot of the imposing Flimserstein through the tall fir trees in the forest. It races around numerous bends and over the snow-covered landscape.
Halfway, the sledding slope crosses the ski slope once and runs along the Flem, which flows through the Val Stenna and its eponymous gorge before Flims. North of the valley section, which separates the two Flims districts Dorf and Waldhaus, you reach the starting point at the valley station again via a slope specially prepared for sledding.

Looking north from here, you can see the Glarus thrust at the Tschingelhörner, which has been part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage since 2008. To the south, on the debris cone of the Flims rockslide, lies the Großwald forest with its four lakes. From Conn, the view into the Rhine Gorge is also breathtaking.
