Waldhaus Flims

Hidden in a private park above the Rhine Gorge — the so-called "Swiss Grand Canyon" — the Waldhaus Flims has been a retreat for those who prefer their luxury with a side of wilderness since 1877. The original Belle Époque building was joined by a sleek modern wing, and the combination works: one half for guests who want chandeliers and parquet, the other for those who prefer concrete and floor-to-ceiling glass. The surrounding landscape — ancient forests, turquoise lakes, and some of Switzerland's most spectacular gorge walks — is the real draw. 142 rooms across both buildings, a heated outdoor pool, and direct access to the Laax ski area.
