End of an era in Flims
The almost eighty-year history of the chairlift from Flims via Foppa to Naraus will come to an end on Sunday, March 26, 2023. The chairlift will be replaced by the Flem-Express, an innovative gondola lift as a feeder to Segnesboden. From 2024, the new lift will serve Segnesboden and two mountain stations as a "Rope-Taxi". Guests will be able to choose their destination at the valley station and travel to Cassons or Nagens Sura without having to change at the Segnes junction.
For mountain bikers, the closure of the Flims - Foppa - Naraus chairlift means that the direct access route to the Runca Trail will no longer be available for the time being. In the 2023 summer season, the Arena Express will serve as a replacement, which can also be used for the Nagens Trail. After a short ascent from the Nagens mountain station, the Segnes Trail, which opened in August 2022, can be reached via the Segnes Hut. The new trail leads directly into the legendary Runca Trail, and the valley station in Flims can be reached via previously known paths.Completion of the entire mountain railway project is planned for December 2024. By summer 2025 at the latest, mountain bikers should be able to get from Flims to the Nagens Sura mountain station without having to change trains. This new mountain station will be the starting point for the Nagens, Segnes and Runca trails and will also replace the Grauberg cable car as a connection.
