FlemXpress Cable Car from Flims

With the new FlemXpress, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sardona is now directly accessible from Flims via cable car for the first time. It’s a pioneering project in the cable car industry.

The 10-person gondola operates on demand thanks to a unique technology found nowhere else in the world. Passengers can select various destinations directly with the push of a button.

If no gondolas are in use, they remain along the route. Boarding the standing cabin is barrier-free and without rush, even with luggage or sports equipment.

Practical Information:

• barrier-free, suitable for wheelchairs and strollers
• dogs are allowed and travel for free (under your seat)

The collision of the two continents Africa and Europe created the Alps. Nowhere else in the world does this geological history appear as monumental as in the tectonic arena of Sardona.

Here, 250 to 300 million-year-old rocks were thrust over much younger rocks that are only 35 to 50 million years old. This occurred 10 to 20 million years ago, deep below the Earth’s surface at that time.

Due to its geological significance, the area of around 32,800 hectares above Flims was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.

The rugged peaks of the Tschingelhörner, the Martinsloch, and the lower and upper Segnesboden characterize this spectacular landscape.

All 120 cabins are equipped with two mobile charging stations and a ventilation system that prevents the windows from fogging up.

Since the FlemXpress operates year-round and offers night rides, the cabins are fitted with subtle exterior lighting.

The route runs from Flims to Segnes and Nagens Sura. Starting summer 2025, you’ll also be able to ride to Cassons.
