It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. Hello everybody I'm investigating a weeks trip to Laax. I know it's Switzerland, but this seems like a lot! Some of our group are beginners so they'll need lessons all week. Am I missing something here, e. Are there any other more reasonable ski schools in the resort, or is it a monopoly? Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. I went to Laax though didn't do any lessons. The resort is nearly entirely a monopoly in food, ski hire, hotels etc so is really overpriced, especially for the quality. I recall paying 20 quid for poor quality sausage and chips with a coke. It was absurdly expensive. I think this is unacceptable when you have paid for a weeks lift pass. Basically don't go to Laax. I went to Hinterglemm in the same season, stayed in a 4 star hotel with great food and spent the same as a week in Laax staying in a hostel with poor food and a poor ski area. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? We're considering Austria too, and those added costs might swing it! You need to Login to know who's really who. Flims Laax Falera is a great ski area. The ski area is not road and cat tracks at all, so no idea where that idea came from. In terms of pricing for food, there is lots and lots of self service restaurants where roughly 18chf will get you the dish of the day roughly GBP , drinks are expensive for sure. There are also some eye wateringly expensive but excellent restaurants, like the elephant, where you do need to check with the bank manager before you go in the door, but plenty of other options as well. It also has a simply excellent and really well invested in lift infrastructure. There are a number of ski schools in the area, so i'd suggest pricing around, for example Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. I'd echo the thoughts of coddlesangers. Went in as our second ski week and it was perfect for us. Lots of easy long runs and excellent steeper runs to progress to. We had private lessons from the main ski school and they were excellent instructor was a local chap called Christian - very patient and spoke flawless English. If you can afford it, give it a go. You'll need to Register first of course. I have been a few times, though last time was I have never had lessons or hired skis there, and we stayed out of resort because long weekend accommodation was too expensive this applies to many resorts. Whilst there were some very expensive restaurants, this wasn't most of them, and I had no trouble finding more reasonably priced ones. I don't recognise Madlondon's description of the ski area at all though! I think it's an intermediates paradise, with some really long interesting runs. I can't remember the cat tracks at all. There's one bit as you get near to base where the gradient is only gentle, but I can't remember ever having to pole it. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports There are a few decent long runs but to describe it as an intermediate's paradise seems a stretch! It's meant to be really good if you like the parks, but they aren't my thing. I did go in April at the tail end of the season and it was foggy and suffered from poor light a lot; maybe it is usually better. Despite this I would still go somewhere else unless you really want to do the park. There are simply too many better resorts, with better ski areas and better value for money. The argument if you can afford it go would only apply if there were no alternatives; there are. After all it is free. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Indeed, looks terrible, stay away. Ski the Net with snowHeads. Someone could show similar pictures for nearly every ski resort in Europe. Means nothing. You contend Laax is foggy. Here is a picture of Flims, taken last Feb by me of a non foggy Laax. You contend Switzerland is pricey. You are right. However, your idea that Flims is a 'poor ski area' as per your first post in the thread is quite frankly, bollox. You had a bad holiday, in poor foggy conditions. I can tell you from having been there a fair few times, that its not the resort, its you. Don't take my word for it, try these guys And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. This is the reputable ski awards where the hotel it is hosted in every year always wins best hotel in Austria and the resort it is hosted in - Kitzbuhel, always gets best resort in Austria. I don't do off piste and I went in April so it could be fantastic for that. I actually went in the elephant restaurant and recall the food being really good. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. You know it makes sense. I do think it's suited to intermediates. I've never been in the parks. There was one trip where it was snowing heavily for one of the days - there was very poor vis up top, but that was no problem, we just lapped the tree runs. In that respect I found it a flexible resort. I appreciate that you didn't have a good time on your one trip, but it happens like that sometimes, and is often down to specific conditions rather than resort. There are a couple of resorts I didn't have great trips at, because conditions were just rubbish and I couldn't do what I wanted to do. In my own head, there will always be a slightly negative association with those places, and I probably won't go back. But I don't go telling all snowheads that they are crap resorts, because I don't think my experience was typical. I'm not arguing that it's necessarily the best resort for the OP - particularly given the cost of lessons as posted, there probably are better places to go. New Topic Post Reply. Snow Snow Snow!

Laax Ski Instruction

Ski season varies here depending on the altitude, so I researched resorts whose heights kept them open through mid-April. Spring seemed to have sprung, with flowers bursting open and bare arms emerging from sweaters. But as luck would have it, the first weekend in April had one last breath of winter in it. As Dan and I pulled into an airplane-themed restaurant Runway 34 near Zurich, snowflakes began to fall. And it snowed in Basel, too! The food was not so impressive at the restaurant, and the set-up was gimmicky, but the planes were cool. We ended up driving to the airport after a quick meal of raw salmon on salad and parking, then having a beer in a much cooler location, Upper Deck in the airport. Dan and I had strategically packed the car with our boards, equipment, and luggage, making sure there was room for Simon and his. This was completely unsurprising, including a few minutes later when he pulled socks out of his pockets. We hopped in the car and Dan drove us through the snow to our apartment in Laax, where we cracked open a few cans of Valaisanne and caught up. Go slower. Now do it again. Halfway through the third word, a hiccup made me doubtful, but no sooner had Dan finished writing than my hiccups were gone. The next morning, we drove around the corner to a breakfast spot called Romana Cafe and Bistro, which surprised us by serving eggs! We parked in Flims and went to a rental shop, where Simon rented gear and Dan got a bandana scarf thing that covered his head. He then went off to get lift tickets. When he returned, he explained that due to high winds, the lifts toward the top of the mountain were closed. Not off-piste, but like a road. Sure enough, as we scanned our passes to board the gondola, we spotted a handful of people donning colorful suits and outfits. As the day wore on and the lines for the gondola grew, we spotted more and more people in makeup, cosmic-themed ski outfits, and zero equipment. There seemed to be a no-beer rule in the gondola, so the partiers stood around chugging beers and Smirnoff before hopping on a gondola. We took an empty gondola up to the top of our route, strapped on the boards, and headed down. Immediately, it became clear to me how excited Simon was to go off the trail. Every opportunity he got, he was cruising through powder and hollering back at us to join him. Luckily, the red route through the trees was absolutely stunning on its own, soft and powdery as snow continued to fall fresh from the sky. Once we got the feeling of snowboarding again, Dan and I carefully followed Simon on little detours off the piste. The snow there felt way softer and fluffier. This is what snowboarders live for. Exhilarated at the bottom, we jumped back on the gondola for a second go. The conditions at the top were blustery and cold, but as soon as we bore left onto the 18 with the trees, it cleared up and felt warmer. We spent the morning playing in little off piste swoops, just taking a quick minute in fresh snow before getting back on the groomed piste. This proved harder than anticipated. The half-pipe was located up a slightly different side of the mountain to us, which was more exposed to the weather and way icier. We were all very grateful we had face coverings in the chairlift. The descent here was less fun. I could barely see Simon or Dan in front of me as I guided my board over exposed swaths of ice that sounded horrible as they grated under my board. By the time we reached our starting point to get to the party, the descent to Nagens, I was feeling spent and frustrated. Dan waited as I tried to decide whether to walk down or board. Walking would be less of a hassle, but boarding would be maybe more fun. No one was on it. Dan also thought that was a great idea. Dan went first, cruised down to where Simon was waiting, and bounced nicely over the edge of the piste to the off-piste where he sat down and took off the board. I cruised down and fell over the edge into the snow. I guess something to reflect on is mindset. In any case, it was definitely time for a beer. We left our boards in the snow along the main piste and headed towards the thumping speakers where a band was shouting into a microphone in German. The frontman, clad in a blue skisuit, paused occasionally to swipe his combover down, all the while dodging snowballs being hurled at the stage by the crowd. Dan and Simon grabbed us two bottles of Calanda and we popped them open with a Prost! We sipped, and then watched as the beer froze. Like, icicles grew from the surface down. Dan put our bottles inside his coat and zipped it up, while Simon opted to stuff his down his snow pants. We huddled together away from the wind while they defrosted. Beside us, a group of adults dressed as ewoks danced along with the music. The party was a great spot for people-watching. Groups of intoxicated, costumed individuals congo-lined past us while children in dinosaur snowsuits flopped into the snow and lay there. Once our beers had defrosted, we clambered up the hill to clip on our snowboards and head down. The weather had not improved, and this time our descent also involved avoiding drunk people skiing down from the party. We all survived, dumped our boards in the car, and headed back to town for a drink. The bar at the bottom of the run was pumping out rave music and the partiers were gathering there. We opted for the Arena Bar, just across the street from an American Burger place. We grabbed a spot at the bar and cheersed 3 pints of very much not-frozen beer, and then ended up with another round and dinner just as the place was filling up. These are my favorite parts of trips: a beer that turns into dinner because the vibe is cool and the conversation is awesome. We were in bed as soon as we got back to the AirBnB. In the morning, I woke up at 7 to run 12km. Still, I tried. The road was sleek with what could have been ice, and snow began to fall as I ran. The sun was peeking out encouragingly as I ran about 6km up meters of mountain. My route took me off the road and onto some fluffy snowy woodland paths, which were an absolute joy until the snow got too deep and my sneakers too wet. I enjoyed the run, though, and the views it provided. I ran knowing I would pack up my things and eat eggs for breakfast. We did this at a leisurely pace, and over eggs, we discussed our plans for the day. Would we snowboard? Explore somewhere else? For a future entry: the sheep head story. It took a few minutes for me to figure out he meant Chur, which was only 33 minutes away. Feeling spontaneous, we hopped in the car and drove over. But when we pulled into the half-empty car park at the bottom of the lift in Chur, I started itching to get on a mountain. We took the gondola up and Simon and I explored a few runs. I was feeling tired, and Simon was waiting to hear from his friend, who was somewhere off-piste with her friends. We had a quick Coke with Dan at a ski bar — which would have been adorable if smoking was illegal — and then decided to go up one last time. Simon and I came down a nice blue run to where a chairlift would take Simon back up for another run. It was unbelievably snowy and joyful, but definitely not a piste. The absence of markers along the way confirmed it for me. Eventually, as we crashed through shrubs and beautiful off-piste snow, I spotted the posts of a red route down below. Simon led the way down through glorious, cloud-like snow. She told us that there had been a total of 5 perfect snow days all season, where the off-piste action was superb. This had been one of them. How lucky were we? It felt sad to leave Simon at Zurich airport, but we parted ways with promises of a return trip in the fall for more off-piste. Categories: Switzerland.
