Every September, after the cows have spent the warm summer months on the lush pastures, the traditional alp-descent Flimserstein takes place. Around a two hundred cows and calves are gathered in the high valley of Bargis in front of a breathtaking scenery. The farmers round up the decorated cattle in the mountain valley and brings them back to Flims via Fidaz.
Guests as well as locals gather in Bargis for a delicious breakfast, called Buura Z'Morga, to watch this wonderful spectacle. With a funfair, market stalls, live music and much more, the traditional Alp-descent is a special experience for young and old alike – and it all comes to a festive close at the Stallchilbi by the Lerchihof in Scheia.
New: Support the Flimserstein Alp-descent
To support the Flimserstein Alpine Cooperative, you can now buy a support ticket in the form of a wristband for CHF 10.–. Available only at the event: at the Postplatz in Flims, at the festival area in Bargis, and at the Stallchilbi in Scheia.

Until the cattle reach the Bargis valley 500 metres below, the farmers move them over the steep and exposed Scala Mola. The brunch hut and the Flims farmers' tavern in Bargis are the ideal place to watch the farmers perform their challenging task. In the cow fan mile in Fidaz and later at the Stallchilbi on Scheia, people meet to let the successful day come to an end together.
The high valley can be reached on foot or by public transport.
