Location & Sights
Fläsch and its surroundings offer a myriad of attractions, sights, and activities, in all four seasons.
Winter
The Fideriser Heuberge Schlittelweg, less than an hour from our Lodge, is the longest toboggan run in Switzerland – and probably the most spectacular you will ever experience.
Fläsch is surrounded by first-class ski resorts and ski touring areas, including:
Summer
All the mountain resorts listed above have a summer program, offering a wide range of outdoor sports (typically from June to end of October), including hiking (e.g. the awesome 5-Lake Hike at Pizol), mountain biking, mountain carts and scooters (e.g. at Elm), adventure and theme trails (e.g. at Madrisa) and kids playgrounds.
Rainy Days
The Bündner Herrschaft is known for its sunny weather and clear skies. Should you still catch rainy days, there is a wide range of indoor activities and attractions in the area. A selection:
