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.
Guests as well as locals gather in Bargis for a delicious breakfast, called Buura Z'Morga, to watch this wonderful spectacle. The farmers round up the decorated cattle in the mountain valley and brings them back to Flims via Fidaz. With a funfair, market stands, live music and much more, the traditional Alpabzug event is a wonderful experience for both young and old.
Online ticket sales will start in on 5 July 2023.
Send your best photo of the Alp-descent Flimserstein and win an exclusive alpine cheese subscription from Prättigau. Good luck.

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 best place to watch the cows walking down Scala Mola is Bargis.
On the day of the event, the regular bus runs every half hour from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. from Flims village post office to Bargis.
Bus tickets will be available from 5th of July 2023 via online ticket sales and on the day of the event itself at the post office square in Flims Dorf.

Marvel at the descent of the cows over the Scala Mola while you enjoy a wonderful breakfast, prepared by your hosts the Attenhofer family and the Berghaus Bargis. The number of places is limited and it is therefore necessary to book in advance.
The Buura Z'Morga in the Berghaus Bargis is already sold out, there are still a few places available with the Attenhofer family.
