Crap Sogn Gion, Mountain in Flims, Grisons, Switzerland.

Crap Sogn Gion is a 2,263-metre ridge on the territory of Falera in the Swiss canton of Grisons, ending a ridge that descends from the Vorab. Its gentle sides lack a distinct peak, and two small rock towers stand west of the much more visible mountain station of the cable car opened in 1968. The site lies above the Flims Rockslide, which leaves the slopes exposed to the sun even in deep winter.

Tourist development of Crap Sogn Gion began in 1962 with a platter lift from Laax; a small hut of the Ski Club Flims was the first building on the ridge and still stands. In 1967 a large aerial cable car followed, then the biggest of its kind with cabins holding up to 125 passengers, and it remains in use alongside modernised chairlifts. The station opened in 1968.

The Romansh name Crap Sogn Gion means Saint John's stone; the place name itself is recorded in toponymy as an "Alpweide", an alpine pasture. Since 1991 a black sphere by artist Peter Trachsel has stood here, about 4 metres across, built from 1280 triangles in 44 different sizes. In winter the snowparks with kickers and halfpipes draw the snowboard and freeski scene.

The 1967 aerial cable car, with cabins holding up to 125 passengers, still runs to the station at 2,216 m, alongside modernised chairlifts. A gondola lift continues to Crap Masegn and on to the Vorab glacier, keeping the ski area snow-safe in poor winters. For summer walks, the ridge appears on Swisstopo map 1194, Flims, at 1:25,000 scale.
