Why? It's a very popular Swiss resort.

Why ???????

A friend of mine has been there a few times with family and loves it. Apparently some of the accommodation permits you to ski virtually into the lift to take you up to your appartment !

Hi,
I go to Flims Laax Falera every year to ski for 4 to 7 days.
( Same as I ski in Zermatt,Klosters and Jungfrau region every year as well.)
There are very good specials if you book early enough.
Laax area is not the cosy Swiss village like Wengen or Zermatt, but skiing is A1 in Laax. I would go as far as to say that skiing is nicer and better than the jewels of Austria such as St Anton. ( been to St Anton a number of times but not likely to go back again. Nite life in St Anton is good but a price to be paid for it.)
If it is nite life you want, then there are more vibrant places than Laax.
Accommodation in Flims Waldhaus is good. The brewery restaurant serves excelent meals.

Laax,

Laax. Interesting. I've been reading up on it this weekend strangely and it sounds, interesting.
Sounds like somewhere trendy to get boarders involved from what I've read.
The village doesn't sound great although laax dorf would be the best place to stay.
But it's got a good sized area and some decent altitude.
I don't think it's top of my list though.
I don't know anyone who has been their either.

I went three years ago for a weekend. Wouldn't go back; Laax is very board-heavy, Flims is a bit dull, the skiing was pretty good - the Weisse Arena Gruppe do a good job on infrastructure and obv ploughing money in. But not terribly compelling as a total package.
