 Flims is by most measure a major resort and is part of the Alpenarena ski region.It tends to be sunny and is divided up into two parts.Flims Dorff is the main village and sprea out along the busy road, Flims Walhaus is the part where good hotels are located and is set in a wooded hillside.The resort shuttle buses are included in the ski lift pass.Known as being a bit of a Snowboarding destination with its three half pipes with walls of over 6.7 metres, you'll find the place attracts some of the big international riding events |

 For a taste of the Apres Ski check out...
Snowboarders will probably want to head to Crap Bar, No Name Cafe & Granit Bar
In Waldhaus
try the Flem Massiv Bar
There is a Nightclub but fairly quiet to be honest.
Another good bar for apres ski is Iglu and the Stenna Bar for a younger crowd |

 Where to stay in Flims?
Park Hotel
T:0041 (0)81 911 2807
is incredibly cheap but maybe not to everybodys taste.
Riders Palace
T: 0041 (81) 927 9700
If you're young and looking for fun why not try out Riders Palace located in contemporary buildings that really wouldn't look out of place in a hip Urban environment. Originally it was a hostel for backpackers but as the snowboarding scene heated up things started to change. Sony jumped on board and you will find Play Stations in the lobby. The nightclub is great, the interiors are groovy and you'll find the bedrooms mainly white with the odd spash of colour.
Vaul Pign in Waldhaus T:0041 081 911 1339 has only 10 rooms but great views overlooking the forest |

 Flims has very extensive area which links to the second largest ski area in Switzerland much of it above the treeline.The classification of some runs may be a little overstated.Runs back to the Flims can suffer from a little too much sun, although excellent grooming is a feature of the resort
For Snowboarders  Flims has 2 snowboarding parks for freestyling and 40km of marked but not grommed pistes this is a great region for snowboarders.The very impressive terrain park at Crap Sogn Gion has claim to be one of the very best in Europe.You will find jumps, drops, rails, for all levels.Quarter pipe and a boarder cross.Half pipes are there to amuse you as well
Advanced Skiers & Boarders - some spectacular off  piste opportunities and the Crap Sogn World Cup Route is an exciting challenge
Intermediate - great are a for all abilities.The bowl below La Scala is fun, large and very gentle Plenty of reds need to be discovered.
Beginners - there is a nursery area in Dorf and alternatives at Crap Sogn, GIon and Nagers is enought to keep beginners happy
Cross County - 37 miles of trails to play on |
