Day 1

Firstly, thanks for purchasing this trip and thus supporting our work. Over the last few years, we have traveled to a lot of places in Switzerland and here we show you one of the tours we would recommend most to any person when visiting Switzerland. On this first day, you will visit two lakes and the Swiss Grand Canyon. The idea is to walk from Flims Waldhaus to the lake Cresta with a stop at the panorama platform il Spir. To Flims Waldhaus you can either take the car, which you can park there, or take the bus since there is a bus stop there. Then you will start to walk down to the lake Cauma. Depending on the season you might be able to take the cable car for free down to the lake. We recommend to take a tour around the lake and walking with the lake on your left-hand side. After having passed the lake you will walk through a dense and beautiful forest that ends at the edge of the Swiss Grand Canyon. The way to the viewing platform il Spir is signalized very well. Be aware that you shouldn’t be afraid of heights when ascending the viewing platform. If you are brave enough you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view over the canyon and even see the Swiss Horse Shoe bend. The yellow hiking signs will lead you to the Cresta lake, where we recommend to again walk around it. You will get to see the smallest Swiss island with a tree and also great views of the Flimserstein. Just a few hundred meters more to hike and you will reach the bus stop that either brings you to your accommodation or your car. We recommend you book a room in one of the many hotels in Flims.

Caumasee

Blue pearl in the Swiss alps

The Caumasee is one of Switzerland's most beautiful lakes. It's color and the unique island give it a very special character. It is very easily accessible either via walking or there is even a small cable car that brings you down to the lake. Even during winter the lake is never fully frozen and therefore allows you to capture some amazing reflections with the snowy trees. In summer there might be a lot of people around since it is a popular swimming lake.

Crestasee

A small green easily accessible lake

The Crestasee got famous on Instagram for it's special color, but also for the nice wooden piers and probably the smallest island in Switzerland with a tree on it. During summer it's the perfect place for a refreshment and in spring and autumn a great place to exercise your photography skills. Be aware that in Summer you will need to pay a fee if you want to go swimming.

Wanderung

Rheinschlucht - Rhine Canyon

A hike through one of Switzerlands most spectacular canyons.

Sometimes called the Grand Canyon of Switzerland, the Rheinschlucht stretches over many kilometers from the town Castrisch nearly to the town Trin. It was formed several thousand years ago through a massive rockfall, which then got eroded by the river Rhine. Going by train to the. station Versam Safien takes you into the heart of the canyon. From there you can either hike to Flims, to Castrisch or to Trin. In every direction you will get to see a lot of amazing rock formations. If you feel trained enough then a hike from Castrisch all the way to Trin shows you the entire canyon. If you want to get good views from above, then just take the hike from Flims to the sightseeing platform called il Spir.
