Laax, November 20, 2019. On your marks, get set, go! LAAX kicks off the winter season on Saturday, November 23, 2019. Thanks to the snowfall and low temperatures of the past few days, a stable snow cover has formed at higher altitudes, allowing the slopes and facilities around Crap Sogn Gion to open. Freestylers can also look forward to action in the NoName Snowpark. Those who can't make it to the slopes yet can get in the mood for winter with the new INSIDE LAAX app, which has been redesigned just in time for the start of the season.
The dream of those first turns in the snow is finally coming true: LAAX is kicking off the 2019/2020 winter season with the opening of the ski area around Crap Sogn Gion. Various slopes and facilities will be open for snowboarders and skiers starting this coming weekend, November 23 and 24, 2019. Freestylers will get their money's worth at the NoName Snowpark with a range of obstacles and kickers. Hikers are also welcome in LAAX and can enjoy the start of the season on the winter hiking trail from Crap Sogn Gion to Crap Masegn. Refreshments are available at the GALAAXY Mainstation or the Station Plaun restaurant.
