  Been going to Flims for 33 years (since I was 7). Read all the reports, and they're all wrong. Flims / Laax is rubbish. AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS.

  Hi!
  Spent the first 10 days of Feb in this glorious resort !
  Great skiing and unlimited off-piste options.
  Did them all - Blue,Red,Black and yellow.
  Don't know where all the people were - at least they were not on the slopes.
  Been to many resorts in Austria, France and Italy and never seen so few people.
  Had the slopes to myself sometimes. Felt strange !
  The food was great. A kind of a mix of France and Italy.
  But try to avoid the mass self service restaurants they are horrible.
  Not at all pricey - same price as Ischgl (Austria) or Meribel (France).
  Great snow and lots of fun especially in Laax, in the yellow tent by the main lift.
  Great snowboarding with half-pipes and lots of young people.
  Saw some great " skikindergarten " so probably great also for families.
  German and English speaking so no problem in that area.
  Regards
  Erla from Iceland

  I think that this is a good resort and I've seen a lot (3 valleys, Tignes, 4 valleys, Portes du Soleil, Samnaun/Ischgl, Adelboden). Most of the lifts are modern and fast; there hardly is any queueing. I was there 2nd week of February and prices were in my opinion not higher than other likewise resorts. Beginners have limited options though.

  Have been going to Flimms/Laxx for the past 5 year. It's one of the best off-piste areas I have boarded. Am going again tomorrow for the day. Hoping for another powder day.

  Agreed - we have been going for about 8 years - just 3 day weekends, and it is always great. If it is cloudy at the base - go to Crap Sion G, if cloudy there, go to Falera through the trees. It is ideal for a weekend as only 90 mins from Zurich (which is always quiet anyway) and no crowds (except certain German holiday weekends). Have done some great 'nearly' off -piste, but yet to do Coussins !!

  Who said Laax was Crap? I would like to keep quiet about Flims/Laax, but then again the pace derves a bit of promotion! We've been going to Flims for 5 years now. We've never been disappointed, super appartments at reasonable prices, reliable snow, minimal queuing and easy access. If you have kids the place is perfect. The ski school is excellent - full days - no more winging brats in the afternoon. The Alpenarena doesn't compare to the mega resorts in piste area, after 3 days on my first visit I had seen and done just about everything, but the off-piste is awesome when its available and it usually is!

  I have been going to Flims twice a year for the past 15 years, and the place has never ever become boring. The Alpenarena is situated in a snow assured area with large snow falls accumulating each year, son one can always ski/board down into the three villages. There is a good variety of runs, so everyone is accomodated for and many runs still remain open even in the worst of weather. The Alpenarena really is incredible, and, if you want to try something new and away from the vast hoardes of people in other ski resorts, this is the place for you.

  Flims is the hidden gem of the Swiss Alps and caters well for every type of skier. Extensive ski area spread over 4 mountains with some great vertical drops - 5 or 6 runs have more than 1000m vertical. Make sure you end your day with the 14km run from La Siala down to town, 1700m vertical with lots of bars on the way. There is plenty of off piste (one mountain is ungroomed), much of it easily accessible from the lifts and some below the tree line (useful when the weather is bad). The nursery slopes are high (2200m) and therefore snow-sure. Good mountain restaurants. Queues are rare (except Xmas week). I have skiied most of Europe and some of Canada and Flims is in my Top 5 resorts.

  laax is one of my favorite spot. its a huge area with plenty of slopes, lifts, pipes, downhill-runs and everything else snowboarders and skiiers are dreaming of! yesterday (18.1.05) 1m snow was falling! jeepee! because as with every spot its only half the fun if you cant go off the slopes, and for that pleasure laax has huge areas unprepaired and ready for fun!
