Flims, when partnered with neighbours Laax and Falera, forms the Weisse Arena ski area, which has around 220kms worth of fairly high-altitude slopes and runs and something to offer everyone, from those learning to ski to world class snowboarders. A few years ago our Guru’s list of the best places to stay in Films would have included mostly traditional alpine hotels and lodges, however today’s list of the best places to stay in Flims also includes some new modern design hotels and wellness centres, reflecting the changing use, but continued popularity of this relatively snow-sure resort.
Flims still has a village-y feel - most of the traditional chalets are on the main street helping to create this impression, or in their own expansive grounds, while the more modern hotels are just out of town further up the slopes. At the moment there are no package tour operators using Flims, and the main guests are from nearby Zurich or from Germany. It’s a fairly small town and most of the restaurants are hotels are within walking distance of the lift hub, but there’s also a relatively good free ski-bus service.
Most of the runs are red and blue, but there are some pretty spectacular glacial runs, including a 17kms run which starts at the top of the Vorab glacier and ends in Flims. There’s also plenty of off-piste skiing in the forests above Laax.
In summer Flims is a great destination for hikers, bikers and climbers. You can also swim in the glacial lakes.
