One of the best kept secrets of Switzerland is the twinned resorts of Flims and Laax. They are definitely on a par with Davos, St. Moritz and Saas Fee in terms of size quality, variety and value for money. Located an hour and a half from Zurich airport the resort boasts a huge area that is ideal for all levels and styles of skier and snowboarder.
In recent years the resort has won Swiss resort of the Year a number of times and has become the “Mecca for Snowboarding” in the central Alpine area. Having the World Championship Half Pipe event as well as hosting the Boarder Cross International every year, Laax is often featured on Eurosport and in various TV programmes, magazines and DVDs.
With undoubtedly the best infrastructure of all the resorts in the region Flims / Laax / Falera boasts 29 ski lifts that can move 42,000 people per hour! In order to make the most of 220 km of prepared pistes as well as 40 km of Free Ride zones. With a vertical difference of 1908 m from the top of the Vorab glacier 3018 m down to Flims village, the longest single descent is 14 km … and lack of snow is rarely a problem with most of the resort between 2 and 3000 metres.
With the variety of the leading Design hotel The Riders Palace in Laax to the Hotel Capricorn – Backpackers Deluxe in Laax – Cons there are enough accommodation possibilities to cater to all tastes. And at the middle station at “Crap Sogn Gion” is the ever popular Mountain Hostel where you can stay at 2228 m and get the best of the fresh snow and see the stars from a little closer!
