    Location & Getting There

    Set in Switzerland's Graubünden region, LAAX encompasses three distinct base areas - LAAX, Flims, and Falera - each offering its own character and charm. Just 90 minutes from Zürich, the resort combines easy access with spectacular mountain scenery. The main resort hub features striking modern architecture that harmonizes with the Alpine environment, while the surrounding villages maintain their traditional Swiss character. This balance of contemporary design and mountain heritage creates a unique atmosphere that sets LAAX apart from conventional Alpine resorts.

    Season Info

    The winter season typically runs from late October through mid-April, with the Vorab Glacier ensuring reliable early-season conditions. Advanced snowmaking technology covers 40% of the ski area, complementing natural snowfall across all elevations. December through February offers classic winter conditions, while spring brings perfect park sessions and sun-drenched terrace days. The glacier area maintains good coverage well into the spring, particularly on the north-facing slopes.
