The Galaaxy Mainstation, Caffè NoName, Restaurant Station Plaun, and Tegia Miez are available for culinary breaks on the mountain. Preparations are also continuing intensively in the other areas of the ski resort so that the range of services on offer on the mountain can be continuously expanded.

Three awards for LAAX at the start of the season

However, it is not just the start of the season that is cause for celebration: LAAX also secured two awards at this year's World Ski Awards: for the tenth time in a row, the "World's Best Freestyle Resort" award went to LAAX. Since the introduction of this category in 2016, LAAX has been the undisputed winner, honoring its diverse freestyle offerings with five different snow parks and two halfpipes.

The rocksresort also received an award: for the seventh time, it was named "World's Best Green Ski Hotel." Built to Minergie standards, this ski-in/ski-out hotel is committed to the sustainable use of resources, embodying the green style philosophy of LAAX.

LAAX received another honor from Skiresort.de: the resort was named the test winner in the "5-star ski resort" category. Skiresort.de, the world's largest test portal for ski resorts, has been awarding these prestigious industry prizes since 1998.
