Directions

The starting point at the Foppa mountain station is easily accessible by the modern gondola from Flims. At the beginning, you hike uphill past alpine pastures and wooden barns. On the right, you'll enjoy a great view of the towering rock walls of Flimserstein. Then, you'll pass through the snowy Flimser Forest, where a short downhill section offers a chance to catch your breath. As you leave the trees behind, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains, motivating you for the upcoming challenging climb. The final stretch leads you comfortably downhill to Startgels, your destination. Both Foppa and Startgels offer places to stop for a break.
