Flims Laax Falera — Hotel in Falera

The first time in this ski resort. Friday 07.04 we went skiing and the day was fine even if almost all blue tracks are push, ride, push, ride and push as they don’t have much slope. (By the way from the valley you need at least 2 skilift to go up +- 20min) Then in the afternoon the weather got cloudy and we decided to go back following the one blue track which was open in every website and chart, but suddenly at one point the track ended on a very slopy and bumpy difficult red one (experienced skier told us that was hard) as we ask people working on the lift they said the blue was open but can not be used because no snow on it and the only way was to go back to the top and coming down from the other side following another blue track and so we did. Once at the top visibility was reduced to 1,5m and snow storm, we kindly ask the people working there if there is another way or if they could help us as as beginners was really not cool but the answer was not cooperative , we had to ski down no other way and no willing in help so we went down again but due to poor visibility and poor signalisation (track crossing are not marked) we arrived back to difficult slopes so we had no other choice so we took that and finally we made it back. The day after 08.04 the weather was bad again so they closed some skilifts, leaving only open lifts for hard slopes and freestyle parks and only very few for beginnes as weather was bad. We then asked kindly if it was possible to get refund on the skipass for the day as we couldn’t skii (65chf/person) but again not costumer friendly answer ( their politicy says NO REFUNDS or better only if you had an accident). Of course the resort is not responsable for the weather but lack of information as the slope was marked as open even if not, no friendly nor helpful workers, the blue slopes are sometimes uphill so you have to push up instead of skiing down made us decide that this was first and last time...

Bad value for money, I am actually surprised that it has so many good reviews! If you love free riding and love snow parks, then ignore my review, but if you are simply looking for a nice variety of prepared pistes for a ski holiday, this is for you. It is extremely pricey for what it offers: long queues (I was there mid March!) pistes not well prepared inconsistent marking of the pistes: you either need to walk on very flat blue runs or some blue runs are even steeper and more difficult than reds (?) -it takes a long long time to go from one side of the resort to another (long queues plus old infrastructure) the Vorab gondola is so old that every time I took it George Michael would appear in my mind and start signing "Last Christmas", this is how old that gondola feels (from 1978 to be exact). Dynamic prices are very opaque For approx. 100CHF a day pass I would expect much much better - would not complain if the forfait would be cheaper/reasonable. Here are the few nice things: Landscape is extremely beautiful. Would love to come back in summer for hiking App is fantastic, they are at the forefront in this sense - you can order food, tickets, everything. The LAAX resort (Rocksresort, Restaurants, etc) is very well organized, practical and nice - just be aware that the whole resort caters an international audience so it is not very typical Swiss. Overall, I think LAAX might only make sense if you travel from abroad so you want close to the airport, where you can communicate in English and look for a Après-Ski vibe - however, there are so many more nicer resorts in Switzerland that I can only understand its hype to the excellent marketing efforts of the LAAX team. A tourist trap...
