The hike starts in Flims Waldhaus, from there we are on our way in the uaul Grond towards Salums. When we arrive in Salums, the Straussennest restaurant awaits us with its culinary delights. Further on in the direction of Conn is the «Il Spir» viewing platform, which offers a unique view of the Rhine Gorge. After this highlight, the next one is already waiting, namely the Cauma lake with its turquoise green color and the idyllic bays, it will soon provide a Mediterranean ambience and obviously live up to its reputation as one of the most popular bathing lakes. From there the path leads back to the starting point in Flims Waldhaus.

 

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.

Von 4h Weg sind die „Highlights“ (Rheinschlucht, Caumasee) auf der letzten Stunde wobei berühmter Caumasee nichtmal direkt am Weg liegt. Die „Highlights“ sind entsprechend Touristisch gefüllt (Wochenende/August), die Wege sind gut, oft breit & werden mit Mountainbikern, gegen Ende Kutschen geteilt. Die ersten drei Stunden durch Wald, aber auch entlang Strasse an Laax-Dorf vorbei sind Aussichtsarm. In die Rheinschlucht kann man erst ab der Plattform gucken. Für uns nicht die Tour der Wahl bei nur kurzem Aufenthalt. Die „Highlights“ lassen sich über kürzere Touren abklappern.
