A pleasant surprise in the Swiss Alps!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Perhaps its name does not carry the special weight that Davos, Saint Moritz, Zermatt<\/a>, Gstaad and but<\/a> ski resorts in the Alps. However, it is a small gem for winter sports enthusiasts and not only. Laax is one of the largest ski resorts in Switzerland with 28 lifts and 224 kilometers of slopes, 70% of which extend to an altitude of over 2000m. Which means plenty of snow throughout the winter season. For those who are initiated into the genre, the area is known as a \u201cfreestyle paradise\u201d because of the four snow parks and the events that are organized there. Without knowing much about the place, we went after an invitation from friends and it really pleasantly surprised us! But let's see everything in detail:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The settlements<\/strong><\/p>\n

The area consists of three separate settlements, Flims, Laax and Falera, which are connected by both lifts and local transport. Flims is ideal for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, Falera retains its traditional character and is ideal for families, while Laax is home to the nightlife and most apr\u00e8s ski activities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visitors to the area will hear a strange dialect that sounds like German but isn't. It's the Romance language (Romansh) of Latin origin, which is one of the four official languages of Switzerland and is used in the canton of Graub\u00fcnden.<\/p>\n

Skiing<\/strong><\/p>\n

As much as we love skiing as a sport, what we don't like to see are ski resorts where the alteration of the landscape is obvious, with gigantic facilities and no local color. This is definitely not the case in Laax! The lifts and existing ski resort functions are scattered and structured in such a way that your eye enjoys the natural landscape and the white veil that covers the mountain.<\/p>\n\r\n
