In two stages visitors sway in 2-seater chair lifts while traveling to Alp Naraus (1840m). There they transfer to a genuine cable car, which takes them to the Cassons Ridge (2644m). While the two lower sections, opened in 1945 and 1947, take 19 minutes to conquer 742 meters, the aerial cable car opened in 1955 takes only seven minutes to sprint 801 meters.

Bald chalk faces, the leftovers of the Flims mountain slide, remind to this day of the gigantic natural phenomenon. This is also the main theme of the nature trail on the Cassons Ridge, which informs visitors about the regions geology, flora and fauna.
