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.

The route is picturesque, but is poorly planned. Kaufmannfrauen cafe was friendly and nice. Even extending the hike by a circular walk around Caumasee we arrived at Conn at 12.40 instead of 14.00. Conn is a con - the service was inattentive and unfriendly, we had to wait 1hr for one course and it was not worth waiting. We skipped the desert to avoid further disappointment. This offer is not worth taking - you can make this easy hike at your own pace and have a wider choice of food

Der Name "Kulinarik-Trail" weckt Ansprüche - was uns im Restaurant Conn serviert wurde, war diesbezüglich eine pure Enttäuschung
