January is the most popular time to visit Laax, especially for winter sports enthusiasts. This month falls within the peak season from December to February, when the snow-covered slopes attract skiers and snowboarders from around the globe. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, including thrilling runs on the renowned Flims-Laax-Falera ski area, which boasts over 235 kilometres of pistes.
During January, temperatures typically hover around -5 to -10 degrees Celsius, creating superb conditions for winter sports while still allowing for comfortable exploration of the charming village. After a day on the slopes, you can warm up in one of the local wellness centres, making the most of your vacation experience.
For those who prefer a quieter and more budget-friendly visit, May offers a lovely alternative. While it's outside the main tourist season, the weather is generally mild, and you can enjoy the stunning alpine scenery without the hustle and bustle of peak season. This is an excellent time for hiking and cycling, with trails opening up as the snow melts, allowing for breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
