Laax Essentials

Laax combines high-altitude adventure with significant archaeological heritage. This alpine destination is anchored by the Vorab Glacier and the vast Flims Laax Falera ski area, famous for its freestyle facilities and the world's largest halfpipe. Beyond the slopes, the region features the Parc La Mutta megalithic site, the 13th-century ruins of Casti Lagenberg, and turquoise mountain lakes such as Lag Prau Pulté. Visitors can explore peaks like the Bündner Vorab and dine on regional Graubünden cuisine at mountain huts like Tegia Larnags.
