On this easy walk through the Flimserwald, we will be rewarded with a spectacular view of the Rhine Gorge from the viewing platform "Il Spir". The turquoise waters of Lake Cauma bring us into the Caribbean mood and invite you to a refreshing bath. The trail starts from Flims Waldhaus Caumasee and takes about 15 minutes. through the forest. From afar we are greeted by the clear, turquoise water which, surrounded by trees, shines through the dense, green forest. Past the Bähnli which goes down to the Caumasee entrance, it continues in the direction of Conn. Afterwards it takes about 30min. until we reach Conn. The cozy sun terrace of the excursion restaurant Conn invites you for a coffee, a piece of cake or lunch before we embark on the return journey with the wooden horse-drawn carriage or on foot. If there is still time available, it is worth taking a trip to the viewing platform Il Spir which is 5 minutes away and which protrudes into the Rhine gorge and thus gives a wide view of the river.

 

Snowline map  

While at higher altitudes there is at best already snow, the trails in the valley are still free of snow. Our interactive snow depth map helps you to plan your tour. Here you can see at a glance at www.flims.com/schneesituation where you can already expect snow on the paths and trails and where you can still be on the road without getting cold feet.
