The “Crap da Flem” gondola runs from Fidaz up to the Flimserstein at 2,050 metres. The gondola is here to transport the milk from the alp down tot he valley. But also guests can use this transport option, which allows you to start or finish your hike high up on the Flimserstein. It also gives you the option to conveniently shorten your return to the valley after completing the “Pinut” via ferrata by taking the gondola.
