Laax Faler General Overview The Alpine Arena - Flims Laax Falera The
Alpine Arena, combining three different resorts into one ski and snowboard
area, is one of the largest and most comprehensive winter resorts of the
Alps. Laax is a young, dynamic ski resort, whereas Flims emphasizes a more
traditional aspect and Falera represents a typical Swiss mountain village.
But all three resorts have one thing in common: a stunningly beautiful
countryside that impresses all of our guests who visit the area, be it for
sport or relaxation. Laax
emerged as a tourist resort in the early 1960's, when a few entrepreneurs
fulfilled their dream by constructing the Mountain Railways White Arena
Corp. (formerly Crap Sogn Gion Corp.), and thereby bringing new economic
factors into the region. In the once sleepy farming village of Laax,
tourism became the largest and most important employer - and still remains
so today. Large-scale investments in and around the village have
transformed Laax into an all year round tourist destination. Flims
is a classic summer health resort, and has also become an attractive
winter sport resort due to the construction of the lift facilities. By the
way, Europe's very first chair lift was inaugurated in Flims in December
1945. Today, guests from all over the world enjoy a wide range of
recreational activities, that have made Flims the internationally renowned
holiday destination that it is today. Falera
has been able to maintain its rustic village charm,
and has the reputation of being the Alpine Arena's best kept secret. It
caters to all those who are looking for traditional Swiss hospitality in
the heart of a quaint mountain village. |
