Laax, January 28, 2020. Two true veterans of Laax gastronomy are opening with new concepts for the 2019/2020 winter season: while Capalari on Crap Sogn Gion is refining its offering and radically refocusing on regional Graubünden cuisine, the Casa Veglia restaurant in the valley is focusing on authentic Swiss dishes and relaxed dining etiquette. Those who prefer to enjoy cuisine actively will find something to their taste on the newly launched winter culinary trail "senda dils gusts."
Capuns made according to an original regional recipe, pizokels just like at Tatta's house, and fondue prepared with local alpine cheese – this is what winter tastes like in Flims Laax Falera. "Back to the roots" is the culinary motto for the 2019/2020 season. Old stories are revived and new ones are written. While enjoying regional and Swiss specialties, guests learn where the name Capalari comes from, what the unusual wall decorations in Casa Veglia are all about, and how to make the best Graubünden barley soup.
A restaurant that tells stories
Casa Veglia was once the epitome of après-ski and nightlife in Laax. Now, the cozy wooden hut at the valley station in Laax Murschetg is making a comeback. As a meeting place after a day on the slopes, the "Schmugg Stuba" invites you to enjoy food and music. Dancing, card games, and other games are also popular, and a "Stubeta" with folk music is regularly held on Fridays. The cuisine and drinks menu at Casa Veglia are down-to-earth and Swiss in character. The table rules are also straightforward: dishes are shared and everyone helps to serve.

Capuns like at Tatta's table
Beinvegni a casa, welcome home! Local dishes conjured up from local ingredients allow guests to immerse themselves in Capalari's world. Capalari, named after the former mayor of Falera, Josef Casutt, still stands today on the former residence of its namesake. The walls are simple but decorated with details steeped in history – such as Capalari's original wooden skis. But the recipes, as simple and delicious as they have always been, show that perfection often lies in simplicity. The capuns are served with Landjäger sausage and a light milk and broth sauce instead of cream and quark. The homemade Graubünden ravioli – as Capalari would agree – are also a must-try.
Culinary delights in the middle of a winter wonderland
Walking has never been so delicious! Stroll through the snow-covered Flims forest from course to course and enjoy the view of the surrounding winter landscape – the "Forest & Winter" culinary trail lives up to its name. Those who are already familiar with it will be surprised, because in the 2019/2020 winter season, new restaurants and new dishes are waiting to be discovered on the "senda dils gusts" – and with a playful new element. From the cozy Livingruhm in Flims, the trail leads along the Rhine Gorge to the Conn restaurant. Along the way, there is an exciting ingredient puzzle to solve: using carved ingredients along the way, you have to guess which regional specialty awaits you next. Finally, the trail leads to Trin Mulin in the Ustria Parlatsch, where every guest can try their luck on the wheel of fortune and win a little delicacy to go with their last course. Those who want to recreate the dishes at home can take original recipe cards home with them at the end of the hike.
