About Renting a Car at Flums Center

Flums is a small alpine town at the foot of Flumserberg in the canton of St. Gallen, perfect if you want to explore Walensee and the surrounding mountain landscape. From here it's only 5 km to Walensee's beach and 10 km up to Flumserberg ski area.

The motorway A3 toward Zurich (90 km) and Chur (50 km) is reached in 5 minutes. Flums center is small but charming with traditional Swiss architecture and views toward the Churfirsten mountain range. Walensee, one of Switzerland's most beautiful lakes, lies just below the town and offers swimming, sailing and hiking along the beach promenade.

Drive up to Flumserberg for fantastic views – the drive takes about 20 minutes but the road is narrow, so choose a smaller car. Take A3 south toward Sargans to easily reach Liechtenstein 30 km away. Visit Weesen on Walensee's western shore – a picturesque village 15 km away.

How far is it from Flums to Zurich? It is about 90 km from Flums to Zurich center and takes approximately 1 hour via motorway A3. Can I drive the car up to Flumserberg?

Yes, you can drive up to Flumserberg, but the road is narrow and steep. A compact car is recommended, and winter tires are required in winter. Is Walensee suitable for day trips from Flums?
