Swiss Alps, Switzerland 🇨🇭
The freestyle capital of Europe, Laax pairs the biggest snowparks on the continent with 224 km of piste and a glacier at 3018 m. Sleek, design-led and snow-sure, it is where Swiss snowboarding grew up.
Generally yes. From 1100 m at the base to 3018 m up top, the profile holds snow well across a normal winter (score 85/100).
Ski-in/ski-out depends on the address here: some hotels are on the snow, others need a short walk or shuttle. Pick a slopeside address if skiing from the door matters to you.
At 224 km of piste on 28 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that rewards a multi-day stay. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 44 blue, 50 red, 20 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Laax stands out for a vast, multi-sector domain and glacier skiing up high.
The season usually runs Dec 1 to Apr 21 (about 20 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. The altitude also holds spring snow, so late-season skiing stays good well into spring.
