A magnificent view of the Churfirsten mountain chain welcomes you to Flumser Kleinberg. Far away from the Flumserberg bustle on the opposite side of the mountain, the trail leads up through open forest clearings into the basin of Mädems. At the foot of Pfufisegg we go back to the other side and mostly downhill.

Description
This unspoilt area is an insider tip for nature lovers. From the Berghotel Schönhalden, the trail leads leisurely uphill, across snow-covered meadows and through forests. Once you reach the top of the wall at the water reservoir, you can look out over the Sarganserland. Once you leave the forest, the wide, open moor and alpine landscape of Fulriet/Mädems opens up. Below the eastern foothills of the Guscha and the Wisswand, the trail continues with a slight incline. Once at the top, the Mädems Hintersäss alp appears in the background. To the left: Pfufisegg; if conditions are safe, it is worth making a detour to the viewpoint. The trail descends to the alpine buildings and turns around there. On the other side, you now walk to Alp Mädems Vorsäss and from there straight down towards Alp Schwarzenberg. A little above, the trail branches off, crosses the Röllbach stream and returns slightly uphill to the starting point.
Hidden Gem
The cozy Berghotel Schönhalden awaits you at the finish.
