Sardona World Heritage Trail No. 73, Stage 6 (Elm - Flims)

By cable car up to the Tschinglen Alp. Here begins the ascent to Segnespass – always with the Tschingelhörner and the Martinsloch in sight. On the descent, after the alluvial and moorland Segnasboden, the landscape is increasingly shaped by the Flims rockslide. Optionally, the route can be shortened with the FlemXpress.

Good hiking shoes with good tread or trekking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing (rain jacket/sun protection), drink, possibly food, possibly hiking poles.

The route should not be started in uncertain weather conditions. Weather changes in the mountains are common. If a rain front or similar approaches during the hike, you should turn back in time.

From Zurich or Chur along the A3 motorway to exit A44 (Niederurnen, Klausen, Glarus, Näfels). Then follow the main road through Glarus (Näfels, Glarus) to Schwanden. Turn off towards Elm and enter the Sernftal with the villages Engi, Matt and Elm. Parking is available at the valley station of the Tschinglen cable car (Töniberg 17 in Elm).

With the S25 you can travel hourly directly from Zurich to Schwanden. From Chur by train towards Ziegelbrücke. Change in Ziegelbrücke to the regional train to Schwanden. From Schwanden continue with the buses of Autobetrieb Sernftal AG to Elm. Get off at the stop "Bahnhof" in Elm. Then follow the signposts. 1.2 km to the valley station of the Tschinglen cable car.

This long-distance hiking trail from Filzbach to Flims is designed so that the UNESCO World Heritage Tektonikarena Sardona can be hiked from hut to hut over the course of about a week. Along the way, you experience unique landscapes such as the Kerenzerberg along the Mürtschenstock, the Murg lakes, the Mühlebach valley, the Flumserberg, the karst area near Schilsquelle, the fossil sites between Schönbühl-, Fanser- and Laui-Fürggli, the original white fir and Calfeisental valleys, the Heubützli and Foopass, as well as the area around the Tschingelhörner between Elm and Flims. The Sardona World Heritage Trail can also be experienced in stages; or additional GeoSites can be included to extend or modify the hike as desired.
