Alp Flix, Alpine plateau in Grisons, Switzerland.
Alp Flix is an alpine plateau in the Grisons region at approximately 2000 meters elevation, featuring lush meadows, scattered forests, and rocky terrain bordered by mountain peaks. The area spreads across several valleys and presents an open landscape without settlements, where grassland and water bodies dominate the terrain.
The plateau has served as a summer grazing ground for herders and farmers for centuries, gradually shaping its current landscape. This approach to land use continues to define the region today.
The local farmers maintain cattle herds on the plateau following practices that have worked here for centuries, and the landscape clearly shows how the two coexist in balance. Seasonal milking huts and traditional grazing patterns remain central to daily life.
The plateau is most accessible during warmer months when trails are open and conditions predictable. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for sudden weather shifts, as the high elevation can bring quick changes.
The area is a mosaic of meadows and bog sections where rare plants thrive and water lingers through the seasons. This combination creates a habitat that travelers often overlook.
