Caumasee-Lift is a funicular at Flims, Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. It provides access to Caumasee at 1003 m - with its bath and restaurant - from an upper station at 1075 m, on Via Dil Lag in Flims Waldhaus. Since 1990, the installation consists of a pair of fully automated inclined elevators. The track has a length of 125 m at an incline of 35%. The upper station can be reached by foot in 10 minutes from the bus stop "Flims-Waldhaus, Caumasee“.
Hotel Waldhaus operated an extensive bath at the lake. The elevator was built in 1937, on the initiative of the owner of the hotel, by Wagons- und Aufzügefabrik Schlieren for Genossenschaft Caumaseelift. The cooperative sold it to the municipality of Flims in 1974.
