- Bus rides or long walks from some lodgings to the lifts
- Most convenient lodgings are in ‘villages’ we find difficult to like

Summary
Laax and the neighbouring villages of Flims and Falera share a ski area that is, in terms of piste km, one of Switzerland’s biggest. The winter programme used to be marketed as Flims (and still is in the summer) but is now known as Laax in the winter – aiming to appeal to the youth, snowboard and freestyle markets as well as its traditional well-heeled family clientele. It has invested heavily in terrain parks, half-pipes, indoor freestyle facilities and organizing high-profile events such as the Brits Snow and Music Festival. Most of our reporters like the skiing but not the slope-side resorts.

Two six-packs are planned. One will start from Lavadinas and replace an old double that started a bit lower down at Alp Ruschein. The other will go from Treis Palas to Crap Masegn. Both will be served by some new runs too.
News – last season 2011/12
A six-pack replaced two draglifts from Alp Dado to the ridge above Crap Sogn Gion. It serves new blue runs and a new freestyle area.
