Laax/Flims - Switzerland

Laax/Flims is largely undiscovered outside of the Swiss and southern German tourist markets. As Swiss mountain villages go, it is not as chocolate box as some, despite a couple of notable pieces of local architecture, as it is quite spread out.


If you're willing to forego twee reproductions of an Alpine set from ‘Heidi', you'll get fast, easy access to the village at around two hours from Zurich Airport, and 220km of extremely well connected pistes. Not to mention a plethora of non-skiing activities and easy access to luxuries such as the top spa facilities at the Park Waldhaus Hotel in Flims. As a result, Laax/Flims is extremely popular with Swiss weekenders but comparatively quiet during the weekdays.
