About Flims

Perched in the Swiss Alps, Flims is part of the vast Weisse Arena ski area, sharing 220km of slopes with Laax and Falera. Once known mainly for traditional alpine lodges, Flims now tempts visitors with everything from sleek design hotels to indulgent spa retreats and cosy, family-friendly stays. Budget travellers often prefer central Flims Dorf, while luxury seekers head for leafy Waldhaus Flims. Whether you’re chasing powder or après-ski relaxation, Flims has a hotel to match your style.

Flims still feels like a proper mountain village, with traditional chalets clustered along the main street and tucked into wide gardens, while the sleeker hotels sit a little higher up the slopes. It’s a small, welcoming place, with most of the restaurants and hotels within walking distance of the lift hub, and a free ski bus that makes getting around even easier. On the slopes, you’ll find mostly red and blue runs, but the real highlight is the spectacular glacier skiing — including a 17km descent from the Vorab glacier all the way back into town — plus plenty of forested off-piste around Laax. In summer, the whole area transforms into a playground for hikers, bikers, and climbers, with the added bonus of cooling off in the sparkling glacial lakes.

For skiiers

  • The 50 room Hotel Cresta is a luxurious lodge overlooking Flims from the slopes. The decor is very pine-clad and chintz, and there’s an excellent contemporary restaurant inspired by regional dishes. And a wonderful terrace with amazing views.
