The culinary hike on the Flumserberg combines alpine scenery with three culinary stops – from peak to peak, from course to course. The journey begins at Tannenboden with the 8-seater BergJet gondola lift up to the Maschgenkamm panoramic restaurant. From there, a short walk leads to the main course at the Berggasthaus Prodkamm, before a scenic hike takes you to the Chrüz mountain restaurant for dessert. How you round off the day is up to you: at breakneck speed on the FLOOMZER toboggan run or at a leisurely pace down the chairlift into the valley.

Cycling & e-biking: flow, trail, repeat.

At BikerBerg Flumserberg, there's a trail to suit everyone – from flowing beginner trails to challenging enduro routes. 13 kilometres of trails with magnificent views towards Lake Walen and Lake Zurich invite you to enjoy descents that stay with you long after.

The Blue Salamander flow trail is for those who love bends. Those who prefer to explore the mountain at a leisurely pace will find plenty of space to breathe on the SchweizMobil routes through the region.

Bikes and e-bikes can be hired right on the mountain, and the mountain railways will transport the bikes to the top. If you'd like to improve your skills, book a course at the BikerSchool.

BikerTrails on the Flumserberg

BikerTrail BlueSalamander
  • Length: 3.8 km
  • Width: approx. 1.5 m
  • Elevation difference: -356 m
  • Difficulty: easy

Gentle gradients, plenty of flow, easy turns and small jumps: the BlueSalamander BikerTrail is a great introduction to the world of mountain trails – for families and anyone who prioritises the ride over the challenge. The trail starts on the Prodalp plateau at 1,576 m and runs for 3.8 km over varied terrain down to Tannenheim. You can easily reach the start by taking the 12-seater Prodalp-Express gondola lift from Tannenheim.

BikerTrail BlueBunny
  • Length: 1.8 km
  • Width: approx. 0.8 m
  • Elevation difference: -70 m
  • Difficulty: easy

Young or old, with or without experience: the BlueBunny is a great introduction for anyone tackling a bike trail for the first time. The trail starts right by the valley station of the BergJet gondola lift at Tannenboden and winds its way down 1.8 km through undulating terrain, bends and short sections. Down to Tannenheim it joins the lower section of the BlueSalamander. A gentle introduction to a world that will soon demand more.

RedFox Cycle Trail
  • Length: 3.5 km
  • Width: approx. 0.8 m
  • Elevation difference: -363 m
  • Difficulty: moderate

From the Prodkamm at 1,939 m, the run flows smoothly down the Flumserberg – surrounded by alpine scenery, with views of the Churfirsten and Lake Walen deep in the valley. The moderately difficult RedFox route leads to Prodalp and rewards every turn with a view that really shouldn’t be missed. Keep your eyes peeled, take the bends, and carry on.

RedRock Cycle Trail
  • Length: 3.7 km
  • Width: approx. 0.8 m
  • Elevation gain: -320 m
  • Difficulty: moderate

The RedRock branches off from the RedFox – if you follow the route as far as the Twärchamm junction, you’ll switch to a trail that has a character all of its own. Alpine meadows, small bridges, forest sections and, finally, the red rock face on the way to the Chrüz, which gave the trail its name and is not easily forgotten.

Family adventures – the mountain as a playground. 

Flumserberg has a knack for making children happy and parents relaxed – all at the same time. The FLOOMZER toboggan run winds its way at breakneck speed through the mountain landscape, filling the air with laughter that can still be heard on the way back.

The CLiiMBER climbing tower offers three storeys and a height of up to fifteen metres of climbing fun for anyone who wants to aim high.

With the CLiiMBER & FLOOMZER combined ticket, you can experience both attractions in a single day. A mountain that thinks of families too.

Facts about the CLiiMBER climbing tower

15 metres high, over 100 climbing stations spread across three levels, each with more than 30 features in a variety of designs and levels of difficulty. You can choose your own order – everyone climbs at their own pace.
