-
Caumasee - Visit Lake Cauma in Flims. Lake Cauma (Romansh Lag la Cauma, sometimes Lai da Cauma) is nestled in the uninhabited southern part of the municipality of Flims in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It is situated at an altitude of around 997 meters, with a seasonally fluctuating water level, and is accessible via a specially constructed funicular. The lake’s water is a striking turquoise green. Notably, the westernmost bay of the lake remains unfrozen in winter, despite its elevation and location in a cold air basin; this is likely due to powerful underground springs flowing through the lake, originating in this part. The drainage is also subterranean. The water level experiences significant fluctuations; in 2015, the lake rose by at least 4 meters and 30 centimeters. The lake reaches its highest level in mid to late July, coinciding with the end of the snowmelt in the surrounding mountains.
-
Bonaduz - Return to the starting point of the journey. Bid farewell at Bonaduz train station, where the journey began, or, as per arrangement, be taken back to the hotel.
