💡 Tips
- Download the 'Inside LAAX' app. It gives you real-time info on lifts, weather, webcams, and lets you book tickets.
- Parking is limited and expensive. Use the free shuttle bus that connects the villages of Flims, Laax, and Falera.
- For the best snow conditions, head up to the Vorab Glacier early in the morning.
- The Freestyle Academy is Europe's first indoor freestyle hall. It's a well-suited place to practice new tricks in any weather before you hit the snow.
- Enjoy the view from the Crap Sogn Gion. Even if you don't ski, the gondola ride is worth it for the 360-degree panorama.
🍽 Food
Try this local Graubünden specialty made of chard leaves and dough at a traditional mountain restaurant on the slopes.
Grab a burger at the restaurant on top of Crap Sogn Gion, the hub of the freestyle scene, which comes with an incredible view.
This hearty dish of macaroni, potatoes, cheese, and onions, served with applesauce, can be found in many cozy mountain huts.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Explore the many sports shops in Laax Dorf, which carry local brands and the latest freestyle gear.
Buy a Bündner Nusstorte, a sweet, caramelized nut pastry, from a local bakery as a great souvenir.
Take a walk to the nearby Lake Cauma (in Flims). In winter, it's a quiet, magical spot that is often frozen over.
There are numerous groomed winter hiking trails around Laax and Flims that take you through snowy forests, away from the busy slopes.
Visit the 'Il Spir' viewing platform in Flims for a sweeping view of the Rhine Gorge, the 'Swiss Grand Canyon'.
