Directions

The Flims Laax Falera Shuttle takes us to Bargis, the starting point of the full-day hike. The beautiful high valley enchanted by the large flood plain and the outward character of the Flembaches. After a first ascent we reach the Alp Lavadignas. Thereafter, the path nestles against the cliffs at the foot of the Chep with wildly romantic rocky outcrops.At the viewpoint Plaunca Dira, the effort is generously rewarded with a wide-angle view from the Silvretta to the Oberalp Pass. At our feet lies Flims with the Grosswald, Crestasee and Lake Cauma. Beyond, the view sweeps into the Lugnez with the white-backed Piz Terri and Piz Aul. Opposite is the high altitude terrace of the Crap da Flem or Flimserstein. Here we cross the high valley Muletg and continue past the avalanche dam Platt 'Alva, to Val Maliens. Primal ice masses polished the limestone rocks during centuries of work. More recently, the Maliensbach has sought a way in the rock and thereby grind out käsekesselgrosse wells, so-called whirlpool, out. In the dozen, they lie one behind the other, almost white, the rock and turquoise-clear, the water in the funnel. If the brook has little water, it can be used on hot days in the troughs at 2100 m above sea level. After this refreshment, it goes downhill on the old alpine path, where the forest provides soothing shade and yet always free the view to the Safiental and Piz Beverin, to Trin.
