Alpine Arena, this is how this region marked residents and visiting these wonderful places. And this is quite justified, because this is the largest ski region of all Switzerland, which offers guaranteed snow cover until March. Of course, many regions offer high-quality skating until April, but due to the fact that the southern slopes begin to fit, the season ends already in March.
The resort of Flis, also combines the resorts of Laax and Faler, so here a fairly wide selection of accommodation places, an excellent choice of restaurants and cafes, as well as a great advantage in Catania, because all regions are closely related and well combined by lifts.
In addition, the region is very rich in relation to landscape and panoramic location. Well-equipped hiking trails allow you to enjoy the surroundings of the resort, its forests and forest residents. Alpine meadows offer gorgeous types of vegetation, which please the eye of tourists and inspire creative personalities.
FLMS uses not so popular among visitors, how highly popular among the residents of Switzerland. It seems that they designed this resort for their own pleasure and high-quality rest.
The area of the region and its villages are not filled with numerous attractions, so see architectural monuments and numerous cultural values you will not succeed.
In the region, nearby, just five kilometers from Flims, in the town of Laak, is located quite large, I would even say, huge, Mutta Park. Megalites are located on its territory, such huge boulders, which have been preserved from time immemorial.
According to scientists and archaeologists, this is one of the biggest mysteries of mankind, which many tried and try to solve.
Total Megaliths are about twelve, and according to scientists, they are more than 3,500 years.
It is believed that it was on the surface of the boulders that the first rock paintings appeared on the territory of the country in which household meaning was laid, and not sacral.
It reminds the calendar in which the ancient people and settlements tried to understand the course of the planets and explore it, and also make their first calendar.
To the territory of the park Mutta adjacent Local Lore Museum which stores archaeological finds on its territory of this region.
The museum is located in the Church building, which was covered in the name of St. Reugean. After all, it is he, in Switzerland, as the ancient legends say, baptized the tribes of Franks, who at the time lived in this territory.
Almost all the objects found are made of iron, in which there are first weapons of settlers, objects of labor and life, as well as fairly original women's decorations.
Decorations are particularly different thanks to their sophisticated forms and elegant lines. Archaeologists estimated their age about five thousand years.
The second attraction of Flims is church, which was consecrated in honor St. Martin.
This temple is considered one of the oldest all over the world, because it was erected in the 9th century. He was built in the true Romanesque style, which appeared long before the Gothic style.
Only in 1512, the church was restored under the strict leadership of Andreas Bulller. It was he who helped restore and interior decoration, and the external part of the temple.
The only thing I had to replace completely, is the altar and choir. They became so dilapidated that they began to represent the danger to the parishioners of the Church.
The interior also updated some parts, and completed some decoration. As a result, it turned out the style that is inherent in the revival era.
Failed to complete only the bell tower. Only two thousand years later, it was completed. The tower is made in a romance style with rococo elements on the dome.
The church is very old, so it is coming to visit thousands of tourists of the Alpine Arena.
In addition, you can make wonderful walks and on Flims itself, because in the old part of it, Flim Dorf, the atmosphere of past centuries has been preserved.
Here are cozy streets, very narrow and beautiful in their own way. All of them are decorated with lanterns, and the courtyards are decorated with mini sculptures that are so inherent in small cities and villages of Switzerland.
You can walk along the pompous Flix Waldhaus, which is replete with luxury hotels and spa centers. This part of the city has a large number of restaurants, shops and sports centers.
