Flims Laax Ski Holidays

Laax ski resort is one of the most popular freestyle resorts in Europe. With four excellent snowparks, featuring Europe’s largest half-pipe with walls up to 6.9m high and several Olympic-style kickers; it’s easy to see why it’s rated so highly. Five lift facilities carry skiers from the base stations up to the ski area, and with over 235km of slopes connected by 27 lifts there really is something for everyone. The sunny orientation of the slopes makes them a welcoming spot for young families or park cruisers alike.

The Flims Laax ski region has long been attracting snowboarders thanks to its renowned status as the ultimate freeride destination. Try out the long red Segnes trail, which joins the Cassons area up with the Grauberg trail. The Cassons area is specifically for freeriding, and with the small cable car reaching it only holding 20 people at a time, you will find yourself virtually alone at the top and ready for a fantastic ride down. Beginners will enjoy a well set out series of novice trails in the Flims Dorf area.

For children under the age of four, snow kindergarten is available to gently introduce skiing during one-hour individual lessons. Parents can either select a stand-alone one-hour lesson or a three-hour package where the remaining time is spent in a supervised crèche based in either Flims or Laax. Children aged six and over can take a seven-day beginner’s course at the Snow Wonderland, where they will enjoy hearing stories, singing songs and learning about the forest; all whilst gaining confidence on their skis.

During a big freestyle competition in Laax ski resort, you will enjoy the exciting atmosphere and action taking place both on and off the slopes. The usual hub of après action takes place in II Pup straight after the lifts close before moving onto the lounge at the Riders Palace later in the night. For something more civilised, head to the Camino bar in the Signina hotel.
