Flims-Laax

The linked resorts of Laax and Flims (rebranded to just Laax) are home to one of Switzerland’s largest linked ski areas, great intermediate cruising, some underrated off piste and one of the world’s best freestyle setups.

The dual villages of Laax and Flims offer something very different in each base.

For a more traditional swiss village, check out Flims; but if lively après and a younger crowd are your thing, the base in Laax is usually packed with skiers and boarders here to use the incredible park at Crap Sogn Gion. Away from the park, the snowsure ski area is ideal for on piste cruising, but after fresh snowfall there is some fantastic off piste to be found – particularly on the ungroomed itinerary runs that are marked on the piste map.

Pros and cons

Extensive intermediate cruising
Good lift system and lots of new lifts
Laax is lively and Flims is traditional – giving two great alternative base options
European capital of freestyle, with five terrain parks

Resort runs can suffer from bad snow
Most slopes above treeline so suffer in bad weather
Queues can form to get up the mountain

On the Slopes

The best beginner areas are located at Foppa above Flims or on the sunny plateau at Crap Sogn Gion – just be aware that to get back to Laax you will need to download. From here, progression on to long, sweeping blues is excellent. We’d recommend exploring the network of blues above Sogn Martin as the most popular area at Alp Dado can get busy. Intermediates have the pick of most of the area, including the snowsure Vorab Glacier.

For those looking at freestyle, there are few better places; five terrain parks now dot the area following the opening of the Free60 Natural Terrain Park, an all-natural ungroomed slope with 18 natural obstacles.

Alongside this, the No Name Park is home to the biggest halfpipe in the world and some monster kickers – its no wonder the BRITS and the European Open are held in Laax and many athletes base themselves here during the winter. If the park isn’t your thing, then head to the unique Lavadinas chairlift (it rotates 45 degrees as you get on to give you a better view) for access to some good off piste or tackle one of the 36km of marked itineraries.

Flims-Laax have made a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, launching their Greenstyle scheme to reduce the resort’s carbon footprint. Part of this will see the world’s first “on-demand” ski lift, releasing chairs as and when needed to reduce the load on the cables and conserve energy.

What’s New for 2023/24?

LAAX has launched the FlemXpress, the world’s first “on-demand” ski lift, in time for the 2023/24 season. This lift serves the Fil de Cassons area of the resort. Unlike traditional gondolas, rather than having a set number of bubble constantly rotating round affixed to the cable, gondolas are only released onto the cable if there is demand for it and are powered from the gondola itself, rather than the entire cable mechanism moving. 15 years of development have brought this unique concept into being, and will see a 50% reduction in carbon emissions compared to the old lift that used to operate on this route.

In the Resort

Flims is the larger of the two and is a more traditional Swiss village. There is a good choice of accommodation and some excellent restaurants and bars, specialising mostly in Swiss food. It is noticeably quieter than Laax and makes for a better base for families or those looking for a chalet holiday.
In contrast Laax is smaller and much more lively, especially at the bottom of the Larnags lift station where the rocksresort dominates. This offers excellent self-catered accommodation, a number of lively bars that quickly fill up once the park closes and is the base for many of the world’s best athletes – keep your eyes peeled. The Riders Hotel is the place to be seen and is home to the best nightclub in town.

Getting to Flims-Laax

The journey from Zürich is a quick hour and a half drive away. Alternatively you can catch the train to Chur and jump on a bus up to either resort.

Friedrichshafen airport in Germany is a good alternative and the drive is a similar length. Basel airport is around two and half hours away.

Zürich airport: 1.5 hours (driving) or 2.5 hours (public transport)
Friedrichshafen airport: 1.5 hours (driving)
Basel airport: 2.5 hours (driving) or 3.5 hours (public transport)
Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (565 miles)

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 30/12

The New Year dawns fine, dry and bright across the Swiss Alps with high pressure lingering across central and western Europe. This will change, however, as the week concludes with cold and unsettled conditions moving in from the East. Around 40cm of snowfall can then be expected over the whole region.

This will begin on Friday, before around a foot falls on higher ground over Saturday. The freezing line will hover around 2,000m, however this will plummet on Sunday meaning the last tail of this snowfall hits all elevations. Conditions then remain bitterly cold into the new week with more snowfall expected.
