Il Spir Viewing Platform
Il Spir
A swallow-tail-shaped viewing platform cantilevered about 400 metres above the cliffs of the Rhine gorge, the best spot for views of the Ruinaulta.
This architect-designed cantilevered platform resembles a swift spreading its wings (Il Spir means 'the swift' in Romansh). From the platform you can look down on the winding Rhine gorge and the train below. From the village of Flims Waldhaus, walking through the forest takes about an hour, or you can take a horse carriage or small train to the Conn forest restaurant and walk 10 minutes from there. Entry is free, but winter paths may be icy. It can be combined with Lake Cauma for a half-day trip.
