Il spir ( Romansch for " Swifts ") is a viewing platform at Conn, south east of Flims in the canton of Grisons in Switzerland .
The platform was designed by the Chur architect Corinna Menn on behalf of the municipality of Flims and inaugurated in September 2006. It offers a spectacular 180-degree view over the Ruinaulta Rhine Gorge . The up to 400 meters deep gorge of the Vorderrhein between Ilanz and the mouth of the Hinterrhein near Reichenau is also known as the “Little Swiss Grand Canyon” and leads through the debris of the Flims landslide .

Viewing platform
The “ll spir” platform consists of a single pillar that is anchored in two places. The pillar, held back by a pulling cable, protrudes into the gorge. On the pillar is the triangular platform made of larch wood, which gives the structure the shape of a swift.
The viewing platform can be comfortably hiked from Flims-Waldhaus or from the hamlet of Trin Mulin in less than an hour. Il spir can also be reached on the Senda Sursilvana long-distance hiking trail, which follows the Vorderrhein along its northern flank.
