Flimserstein Alp-descent

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.

Live broadcast

In order to experience things up close from the very first moment of the Alpabzug, this year again two live cameras will accompany the Alp descent via the Scala Mola. Tradition meets technology and thus creates a unique alpine mountain experience. The live broadcast will be shown on a large LED screen on Bargis.
