Laax is best known within Switzerland for its place in the Flims Laax Falera ski area, one of the country’s major Alpine winter-sports destinations. The village occupies a terrace above the Vorderrhein valley in Grisons, with Lake Laax, or Laaxersee, near its centre and the slopes of Crap Sogn Gion rising above the resort. This part of Surselva has long been shaped by Romansh culture, and Romansh place names remain a notable feature of the local map. In summer, the same terrain supports walking and mountain biking, while the lake provides a quieter focal point for the village.
