The range

Flims-Laax is one of the biggest lift-served freeride playgrounds in the Alps — and our backyard.

From the Cassons ridge you can drop into wide alpine bowls, then thread tree runs almost to the valley floor. Because it's home, we know which aspect holds the snow after a storm. (Placeholder copy.)

It works all winter: cold dry powder early, playful spring corn later. We plan each day around the morning bulletin and what's actually good.

Signature lines (sample — swap for your favourites)
01

Cassons ridge

Lift-accessed entry to a chain of open bowls — the classic first drop of the day.

N/NE~900 mIntermediate
02

Nagens

Rolling powder fields and gullies, forgiving and fun in most conditions.

NW~700 mIntermediate
03

Valley trees

Long, low-angle tree runs back to Flims when the light goes flat up top.

Trees~600 mAll levels

Snowpack, honestly. Flims' continental pack is usually stable, but wind-loaded ridgelines and early-season base weaknesses are the things we watch. (Replace with your real avalanche notes.)

Good to know

Flims, answered

Confident off-piste riding is enough for most of Flims; there's mellow terrain to warm up on and steeper lines when you're ready.

December to April. Deep cold powder tends to come Jan–Feb; spring corn arrives Mar–Apr. (Confirm your exact window and cancellation policy.)

Guiding, route planning, avalanche safety and local ground logistics are included. Flights, lodging and meals are usually separate unless a trip is sold as a package.

Yes — transceiver, probe and shovel are mandatory. Rentals can be arranged, and your guide runs a beacon check every morning.
