Flims is a municipality in the Swiss canton of Graubünden and dominated by the rocky mountain "Flimserstein". From Flims-Waldhaus you have phantastic views across the valley to Flimserstein. Most people's mother tongue here is (Swiss) German and some speak Romansh. For getting around Flims it's best to take public transport, which runs frequently during the day. For snow aficionados, there are many and long downhill skiing slopes suitable for medium to advanced skiers and snow boarders. The skiing area stretches to Flaax. You would probably need several days to fully explore the whole skiing area which comes with scenic views, and great mountain eateries at "Swiss" prices. The place boasts of a large Nordic skiing centre with helpful staff and well-groomed trails for intermediate and advanced levels for classic and skating. Beginners' trails can be found on the mountain, taking the main gondola up from Flims-Dorf. Hiking fans may want to walk to lake Cauma and Cresta for stunning views on the way. And great swimming, too! From Flims-Waldhaus you can hike over to Conn on forest trails and get to the Ruinalta (Rhine gorge) with not-seen-before views over the river Rhine from high up. There is a lovely restaurant in Conn and they also rent out a mountain lodge. Also worth seeing is the Schlössli in Flims (twon hall) which is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance. When eating out in a restaurant or mountain inn, ask for regional specialities such as Schoppa da Jotta (barley soup), Bündner Teller (assortment of special fine dried beef), Pizzocheri and, of course, Switzerland is famous for its wide variety of tasty varieties of cheese and chocolates and Ovomaltine. And perhaps somewhat surprisingly there are fine Swiss wines, too! Esting out in general is pricey but it is an experience not to be missed!

Small and very useful place for skiers for all types of budget. Mostly easy to ski trough 240 km of vell preoardd ski routs. Not too much as for other entertainment. Good and various food (really good places are in shortage at the high season. Not far from Zurich airport (150 km). Nice people. Very rear can meet former CIS people, therefore, prices and habits of the locals are not spoiled. Not a celebrity place, just good as it is.

Rheinschlucht is a must! Cauma lake is like stepping into another world. There are tons of spots worth checking out. We will definitely go back there to check them out ourselves. Food is good everywhere, try the Capuns, tipical grison delicacy. The wine is great as well. Getting around flims is easy, either you walk or you take the bus. Hiking, biking or just enjoying the day at the SPA, all of that is fun to do in Flims.

Three times wonderful slopes. However, beware that the ski pass badge bought in Flims for 5 Fr, contrary to any other resort in Switzerland, can not be returned. Overall, I find the ski personal unfriendly - for example, the guy at Dido ski lift closed the lift in 45 seconds (!) after the official closing time at 16:15, and we had to take a long detour.

Great big mountain skiing. Huge vertical. To bad the 2016 winter is lacking snow. I can imagine many more ski options with more snow. Thank you NYC blizzard for coming through with fresh powder. Go to Flims/Laax/Falera. Do not expect a big party scene. Who needs that your there to ski vert!!
