Best Luxury Hotels in Flims
The second biggest ski area in the country, Flims guarantees snow in the ski season, thanks to its high Alpine terrain sitting at over 3000 metres. Found beside the resort of Laax (often voted the best skiing area in Switzerland), it’s a town of two parts; Dorf and Waldhaus, with a large gorge separating them. It’s also home to a glacier, and a great park – Crap Sogn Gion – with half pipes, drops, jumps and quarter pipes. And there are plenty of summer activities to be enjoyed, like mountain biking, hiking, rafting, golf and wild swimming in the lakes.

rocksresort
(4 stars)Sporting a striking cubist exterior, Rocksresort really owns its footprint, conveniently close to the Laax ski lift. 500 tons of 40-million-year-old quartzite stone went into the build of this 122-bedroom property, which is one of the most sustainable around – it was named the Best New Ski Resort by Wallpaper Magazine after opening. Interiors are minimal, in earthy tones with hints of retro shaping. Guests can stay in suites or multiple bedroom apartments catering for large groups and on-trend bathrooms are equipped with mini spas. Pan-Asian, Swiss and Mediterranean food can be enjoyed in the restaurant by chef Sacha Meyer and there’s a spa.
