Description

Flims and its surroundings are a must for all nature lovers. The Flims landslide shaped not just the sunny plateau, but also the rugged Rhine Gorge as well as the crystal-clear bathing lakes of Cauma, Cresta and Laax. 

The Flims waterway hike (Romansh: Trutg dil Flem) runs from the waterfall in the lower Segnesboden right to the centre of the village. At times it leads the hiker directly along the river course through the narrow gorge landscapes across unique bridges, past waterfalls, water mills and water slides. At others, it takes you along the upper slopes of the stream’s course, along delightful alpine landscapes and mountain pastures dotted with huts.

The Flem is crossed a total of six times by in part audaciously designed bridges. They provide the perfect vantage point for taking in the bizarre rock formations that make up the Flem gorges. Finally you reach two platforms close to the valley station, the perfect spot for hikers to listen once again to the symphony of water music. 

Hidden Gem

The Segneshütte not only welcomes you for delicious food, it also is the starting point for several other hikes.

Safety Note

Caution: The Trutg is a narrow mountain trail that presents a number of difficulties: slope crossings, bridges and walkways across flowing waters. Mountain boots, surefootedness and at times a good head for heights are required.

To make the Trutg dil Flem accessible also to less accomplished hikers, it is possible to complete the trail in sections using a number of entry and exit points.

Mountain bikers are not permitted on the Trutg dil Flem.
