Description
You follow the historic Pinut via ferrata through the steep wall of the Flimserstein, climbing up ladders and stairs. Below you, the view opens up over Flims and later over the turquoise waters of Crestasee and Caumasee.
The route is secured continuously with steel cables and features wide, sturdy iron ladders. It takes you across several rock ledges and terraces where you can catch your breath and enjoy the views of the surrounding peaks. Once at the top, you reach the Flimserstein plateau and feel the vastness of the landscape high above the valley.
The return path leads you down the steep stone traverse of Scala Mola into the high valley of Bargis, which lies nestled between limestone walls and expansive alpine pastures. This way, you experience a varied circuit with airy sections on the rock and an impressive descent through historic trail systems.
