Ski-in/ski-out

Laax skis from the villages of Laax, Flims and Falera; modern slope-side hotels at Laax Murschetg and the Rocksresort sit right at the gondola for true ski-in/ski-out.

Get to know the resort

Laax, with Flims and Falera, spreads 224 km of piste across a sunny, snow-sure massif topped by the Vorab glacier at 3018 m. It is world-famous for freestyle, with several of the largest parks in Europe and a 200 m superpipe, but the broad cruising runs and long descents suit every level. The design-led base at Laax Murschetg, with its rocksresort cubes and big freeride scene, gives it a distinctly modern, young feel.
