Non-skiing activities in Laax
Not a skier? Not to worry. Among the non-ski activities are winter hiking, skating, curling, and the most popular one—snowshoeing. Another popular non-ski activity still on the slopes is sledding. There are three sledding runs where you can do it during the day as well as during the night. At night, the experience in the snow is different because the runs are lit. The runs are around 1.5 kilometres long, and it’s very family-friendly.
