Description

But not only the hearts of geologists beat faster here, hikers also get their money's worth. A picturesque
and almost untouched mountain landscape awaits you on this alpine hiking route. The many small
lakes and the impressive peaks of the Sardona region will enchant you.

Hidden Gem

The descent follows the fascinating water trail Trutg dil Flem.

Safety Note

The route should not be started in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes in the mountains are common. If a rain front or similar approaches during the hike, you should turn back in time.

Equipment

Good hiking shoes with good tread or trekking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing (rain jacket/sun protection), drink, possibly food, possibly hiking poles.

Directions

By cable car up to the Tschinglen Alp. Here begins the ascent to Segnespass – always with the Tschingelhörner and the Martinsloch in sight. On the descent, after the alluvial and moorland Segnasboden, the landscape is increasingly shaped by the Flims rockslide. Optionally, the route can be shortened with the FlemXpress.
