Laax Stats
The term Laax refers to three things, firstly a typical old Graubünden village (Laax Dorf) secondly the ski resort’s base station area (Laax Murschetg) and thirdly the ski area shared between the aforementioned Laax’s as well as Flims, Falera, Trin and Sagogn.
Laax Dorf has an olde worlde feel to it, its lake edged with traditional buildings (Haus Arpagaus the oldest having been built in 1580).
The base station is much more modern, with minimalist builds providing doorstep skiing from the edge of the slopes.
The Laax ski area is one of Switzerland’s biggest, with 224km of runs around the Crap Sogn Gion mountain and one of the world’s best freestyle scenes. It’s the freestyling that puts the area on the map – the four parks here include every feature you could dream of (including the biggest superpipe on the planet). Events like the European Freeski Open are hosted here each year and they’ve also built an indoor Freestyle Academy where athletes can train year round. The whole thing gives Laax a young, trendy feel, with an après ski and dining scene to reflect that.
Zurich, Basel and Friedrichshafen airports have shuttles connecting them to the resort, or you can take the train to Chur and get the PostBus for the last leg of the journey.

Laax Restaurants
Food wise, Nooba’s menu is often likened to Wagamama, while Tegia Larnags serves regional favourites like fondue and raclette. Don’t miss the Vacca tipi where you can sit on cow hides by a huge central fire and feast on amazing steaks.
Laax Après Ski
Pup in Rocksresort has a rustic and relaxed atmosphere, serving the likes of Punk IPA. Indy Bar’d is part of the same building and has good chill out music. After a few drinks at Camino, you can grab a takeaway pizza or order from the bar menu. Crapbar’s decided to change its name (we wonder why!) to rockslounge – and still serves brilliant cocktails. We like the sun terrace at Legna Bar over in Flims, just remember to save time to get the lifts back to Laax before they stop running…
Laax Activites for Non-skiers
Beyond skiing and snowboarding, activities include skating on lake Laax, paragliding and helicopter flights – for an incredible view of the landscape. There are spas galore for pampering, and you’ll find an indoor swimming pool by the lake with a waterslide. Don’t miss the Bonaduz indoor karting track either!Laax and Flims are very well equipped with indoor and outdoor sports facilities and other leisure attractions, making it a good choice for those interested in multi-winter sports holidays or those not interested in skiing at all. Outdoors there are two 3km long toboggan runs, the opportunity to try sleigh rides, dog sledding, helicopter sightseeing flights, ice skating, parascending, hot air ballooning, snowshoeing, horse riding or hiking on up to 60km (37 miles) of cleared trails. Indoors the Sportscentre in Flims has an ice rink, fitness equipment, four table-tennis tables. There's indoor tennis (2 courts) and pools at the Park Hotels Waldhaus and in the Sporthotel Signina, and more indoor pools in the hotels Adula, Crap Ner, Laaxerhof and Schweizerhof in Flims. There are two museums in the Park Hotels Waldhaus in Flims - the Belle Epoque museum and the Grisons Olgiati. There is also a gallery - Eule Art, and a local history and folklore collection in Laax.
