ENJOY OUR RANGE OF EXCLUSIVE SKI RESORTS
Laax is situated in the Graubünden region of Switzerland, in between Flims and Falera. High on a sunny plateau above the Rhine Gorge, Laax offers an awesome ski area for all abilities, particularly intermediates searching for long cruisey runs.
THE RESORT
Laax Skiing
MODERN, DYNAMIC AND FAMILY FRIENDLY SKI RESORTWith 224km of slopes and 70% of runs between 2,000m and 3,000m above sea level, Laax is part of the largest ski area in Switzerland. Popular with passionate snowboarders and freestyle skiers, it boasts four snow parks – with jumps, boxes, adrenaline-fuelled runs and the largest half pipe in Europe, you’ll certainly feel the need for speed! There’s also plenty of more cruisy runs for beginners, intermediaries and those who like to take things at a more steady pace. For the perfect all-round piste we recommend the run from La Siala to Flims as it offers an exciting descent and stunning views. For your first-ever family ski holiday the slopes of Laax are ideal. With flexible and easy access to the nursery and beginner slopes, you and your children can become pros in no time at all.
Laax Highlights
ACTIVITIES AND GASTRONOMYWe have hand-picked some of our favourite things to do and places to eat from our extensive experience in Laax. Our Client Concierge team will be happy to make reservations and give additional recommendations for you. You’ll find our top picks below.
Das Elephant provides impressive views of the snowy mountains while serving delicious dishes on the terrace. Their creative culinary offering makes this the ultimate mountain restaurant experience. Das Elephant is also home to the best toilets on the mountain.
Laax is true paradise for skiers and snowboarders with the indoor FreeStyle Ski Academy, the only one of its kind in Europe. Budding freestyle stars can practice jumps on their trampolines before progressing to the many different sized ramps, all with a nice soft landing in their foam pits.
A mountain style restaurant that serves delicious regional and Swiss dishes that are freshly prepared using seasonal and local ingredients. Enjoy different varieties of Rösti or cheese fondue. We recommend you try the Toblerone mousse for pudding, always a firm favourite with our Powder Byrne resort team. Larnags is open for both lunch and evening meals if you wish to head up the mountain for a unique night-time experience.
Exhaustion is a thing of the past in Laax, as there are many choices on where and how to relax. Enjoy a soothing and traditional aromatherapy massage, swimming pool with bubble beds and massage jets, Finnish sauna, bio sauna and steam bath at The Signinahotel and open to those staying in The Rocksresort.
Restaurant Capalari serves modern Grisons cuisine with an Italian touch. Enjoy panoramic views of the mountains in the sun from the lounge terrace or relax in the lounge by the open fire with a glass of wine or hot chocolate after a long day of skiing.
Sustainability in Laax
GREEN STYLELaax is at the forefront of sustainability when it comes to ski resorts, having introduced its “Greenstyle” sustainability concept in 2010. The concept aims to minimise the consumption of resources so that the resort can be enjoyed by holiday-goers for years to come. This involves:
* Creation of protected areas for wildlife and vegetation to flourish
* Use of hydropower as a CO2-neutral energy source
* State-of-the art-slope technology to ensure minimal wastage
* Refurbishing and designing new buildings that generate more energy than they consume
* Use of electric shuttles where possible through the Flims Laax Falera resort
Laax is aiming to become the world’s first self sufficient winter resort, one of the many reasons Powder Byrne is proud to have a winter base there.
