Flums: Prodkamm
Flumserberg is best known in eastern Switzerland for its broad mountain resort above Lake Walen. The slopes rise over Flums at the edge of the Sarganserland, where a network of lifts and marked routes serves skiers in winter and walkers during the snow-free months. Alpine pasture and long ridgelines shape the terrain, while Lake Walen, also called Walensee, fills the valley below the Churfirsten range. Developed areas remain interspersed with working meadows and farm buildings rather than a single urban centre. In Flums, the ruins of Gräpplang Castle recall the region’s medieval settlement and add a historical layer to this mountain-farming landscape.

Flums lies along the Seez in the Sarganserland valley, where the lower slopes of Flumserberg rise above farmland towards Lake Walen. In the canton of St. Gallen, the town occupies a meeting point between the broad Rhine Valley and eastern Switzerland’s mountain country. The ruins of Gräpplang Castle stand on the hillside above Flums, preserving a visible link to the area’s medieval past. Flumserberg is a well-established Swiss destination for winter sports and summer walking, while nearby Lake Walen sits beneath the Churfirsten range.

Built around the former Abbey of St Gall and the territories once linked to it, Sankt Gallen developed into a varied eastern Swiss canton. In southern Toggenburg, the upper Thur Valley is framed by pastureland and the rugged Alpstein and Churfirsten ranges, giving this part of the canton a distinctly alpine character. Farther north, the landscape opens towards the Lake Constance basin and the city of St. Gallen. Its Abbey District, including the celebrated library, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and recalls the region’s importance as a medieval centre of learning.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
