Abstract: The aim of this paper is to devise a Chern - Weil-type construction for a Finsler manifold $(M,\mathcal{L})$ which is determined only by the manifold $M$ and by the Finslerian fundamental function $\mathcal{L}$. \end{abstract}

Keywords: Chern-Weil homomorphism, twisted cohomology, Frölicher-Nijenhuis theory.
