Gateway: Zurich
The three villages Flims Laax Falera make up “The Alpenarena”. They sit on a sunny terrace at around 3,600 feet, above the idyllic Rhine Gorge, on route of the world famous Glacier Express. The resort is famous for its sunny, mild climate while offering every opportunity to skiers of varied skills. Experts can seek the challenging runs from Vorab (Glacier), Cassons-Grat or the east slope of Crap Sogn Gion; intermediates and beginners will enjoy exhilarating descents over a variety of wide open slopes and bowls.
The ski areas is well interconnected and served by a vast network of lifts and gondolas, assuring fast access to the 136 miles of slopes and minimal waiting time. Out of bound skiing is extensive and easily accessible from marked trails. The Alpenarena still retains an “old world” atmosphere of unhurried life, quaint inns, restaurants, cafes and charming boutiques. |
