Luxury holidays in Laax

There are larks to be had in Laax. An excellent snow record, thrill-peddling snow parks, reams of runs and a lively après-ski scene are the headline reasons skiers and boarders flock to this corner of the Graubünden canton each winter. Yet its summer guise, offering peak-strolled pine forest and lake-cooled valleys, is just as alluring: a Swiss-coated slice of Arcadia in which to hike, cycle or simply switch off.

When to go

Ski season runs from December until mid-April; the summer months from June to August attract cyclists and walkers. May and September are your quieter options. Note that the Laax Open each January transforms the resort into a winter-sports world stage.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Laax is southeast of Zurich Airport, around two hours away by car. Alternatively, rail connections via Zurich will take you as far as Chur.

  • Trains

    The closest train station is at Chur, 30 to 40 minutes from Laax. From Chur, there’s an option to take the yellow Postbus into resort.

  • Automobiles

    There’s no need to hire a set of wheels when you can tap into the joys of the Swiss transport system: rail or bus suffice for getting to and from Laax (or private transfers); boots and skis or snowboards are all you need once you’ve checked in.
