SKI & SNOWBOARD TRAILS & ROUTES
Skiing  Freeskiing in Flims Laax Falera means freeriding through deep snow on 40 km of marked but not prepared downhill pistes (e.g. Segnes, Platt'Alva and Scansinas) as well as on a variety of backcountry tracks (unprepared and not marked). You most certainly need to take heed of the avalanche bulletin before using any of the above. There are panorama signs displayed on the Crap Sogn Gion, in Nagens as well as the Flims and Laax base stations.

Pistes for Freeskiing Lovers
Freeskiing also means freestyle in the funpark, halfpipes or on Skicross. The freeskiers can, of course, make free use of these facilities in Flims Laax Falera. The three monsterpipes invite you to perform daring airs and the freestyle parks with their varied difficulty levels ensure unlimited fun.

CRAP Freestylepark
The CRAP Freestylepark contains about: 2 halfpipes, 1 kicker line and 3 raillines with about 20 rails: rainbow-rail, straight-rail, A-Rail, kink-box, straight-boxes, S-boxes, C-boxes, wall.

CRAP Boardercross/Skicross
The Boardercross/Skicross on the Crap Sogn Gion measures approx. 600 m and contains tables, steep curves, double jumps, large moguls, bumps and dips. This Boardercross is also suitable for every skier.

Tip - Park & Pipe Ticket Laax
This special ticket entitles you to use the cable car to the Crap Sogn Gion once and gives you unlimited access to the freestyle park on the Crap Sogn Gion with its two monsterpipes, the practise lift, as well as the snowboarding park and the Café NoName.
Snowboarding  Flims Laax Falera is the snowboarding mecca bar none. No other winter sports region offers so many possibilities to go wild on the board and to improve your skills. And no other region makes more of an effort to best prepare the pistes and pipes: three monsterpipes inviting you to daring airs and railparks with various levels of difficulty ensuring a unique bond with nature.

The monsterpipes and an extensive snowboard park make Laax the number one place for freestylers in Europe. On top of that, numerous powder snow slopes invite a wide turn and Big Airs.
