Laax Switzerland - Anyone been?

Avatar

So I’m missing all but a month of the SoHe season this year, which has made me want a NoHe Holiday more than ever. Cords’ TR has made me really want to go to Europe. I’m going to Laax for a day or 2 this year in summer because we’re in Switzerland for 2.5 weeks.

Has anyone ever been in Winter? It looks sick. http://www.laax.com/en/skiing-area/snowparks/

Just a little teaser from the link:

I have been to Switzerland for a season. Never made it too Laxx. My mate has been there filming and said it’s an amazing place, great vibes. I was in Verbier for my season, it’s a different world and all the mountains make you froth.

I would never take where they come from as an indication that the place is good, look at louie vito’s home hill

difference being that Nico regularly chooses to stay home and ride his home ‘hill’ maybe?

I cleaned chalets, baby sat and also helped setup some rich crew’s chalets. Great place if you can speak French I was lucky my girlfriend is fluent but no one speaks to much English there. I lived in Martigny for a while also waiting for the girl to finish up work. It’s a wonderful place and your riding will excel quickly due to the terrain. The only issue is Martigny there isn’t much social life like in the resorts. They party hard.
