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.

The program and further information will follow in spring.
