Flumserberg is located approximately one hour from Zurich and Lucerne and near the borders of other European destinations, including Austria, Germany and Liechtenstein.

The resort of Flumserberg forms a terrace stretching from 1000 m to 1400 m above the Walensee and the valley town of Flums. The ski region reaches 2222 m. By the end of the 19th century, this area had already been discovered as a centre for whey cures and its unspoilt natural beauty inspired Johanna Spyri to write her Heidi stories more than a hundred years ago.
