About this trip: The White Arena provides outstanding skiing for intermediates and enough hard-core black runs and off-piste skiing to challenge the most advanced skier. Beginners can keep busy on the Vorab glacier or under La Siala peak. Langlaufers have 60 km of double-tracked loops and there’s an 8 km skate loop. This year our hotel is located directly in Flims.
We advertised this as the Ryan-Air trip last year. No frills. You bring your own snacks to the bus and dinner Saturday night isn’t included. It was a winner. Flims-Laax is spread over a large area, but it is remote and has no train bringing hordes of skiers in for the weekend. As a result lift lines are unusual here so you can do a whole lot of skiing in a very short time. Our hotel is located directly in Flims for those who want to venture out to party, but there is no reason to go far to eat or drink. The Surselva Braü Brewery is located right behind the hotel serving great meals with plenty of fresh “water” to wash it down. www.surselva-bier.ch
