Hiking

This loop is considered one of the most popular hikes in the region, and for good reason: It not only takes you to the shores of the picturesque Lake Cauma, but also through Switzerland's "Grand Canyon." From several vantage points, you'll also enjoy stunning views of the Rhine Gorge.

Rhine Bend (Rheinschlucht)

Highlight • Gorge

Probably one of the most famous photographs from above of the Rhine Gorge. But even down in the gorge, this section offers many wonderful impressions and new perspectives.

Wow wow wow 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

What a great tour of the Rhine Gorge. From the start in Flims Waldhaus you walk steadily downhill, past the picturesque Lake Cauma and the Il Spir viewing platform to the gorge through which the Rhine finds its way.

August 11, 2023,Flims GR / Rheinschlucht-Wanderung vorbei beim Caumasee

Very hot temperatures were announced today ☀️. That's why we started at 8:00 a.m. in Flims Dorf so as not to melt in the sweltering heat in the Rhine Gorge below 🥵😵‍💫. At this time of day you are really very alone on the road, hardly met other people. Only after more than 12km did the first hikers gradually come …

Take the bus 411 back to the Caumasee parking. One per hour until the evening. And don't miss the home made ice cream at Ronja's ;)

October 13, 2023,🇨🇭 13.Tag - Roadtrip Schweiz - Caumasee -Conn-Bächli - Rheinschlucht

Beautiful hike around the striking turquoise-green Lake Cauma. Freely accessible in the low season. Continue along the Conn-Bächli, a 6km long irrigation canal through the Flimserwald. To the magnificent Rhine Gorge. The Grand Canyon of Switzerland with sandstone cliffs up to 350 meters high. A dream! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Medium tour. Every time we make them, the Ruinaulta takes on a different character.

Long tour in, along and over the gorge. Branches from the hiking trail took me to interesting viewpoints that are rarely visited.

July 23, 2024,🇨🇭 Rheinschlucht ab Station Versan-Safien

Rhine Gorge from below and above - and the Ruinaulta (Romansh name) is spectacular everywhere. This tour is a single highlight, starting with the beautiful path along the Rhine, the rather tough climb, the il Spir viewing platform and the path up on the ridge (or crest), the great descent, the orchid path from Sagogn, the exciting path along the …

Thanks for the tip. Nice hike. 
﻿
The views of the meandering Rhine are amazing.
In Conn there is a nice restaurant right on the meadow.
There is a cycle path leading here, so watch out for electric bikes on the road, which go quite fast.
﻿
In the valley you can meet people in kayaks sailing/rafting the river
