As of October 2026·6-minute read

The trails – from green to black

  • Runca Trail (Flims): the classic and one of Europe's longest flow-country trails – around 7.6 km and 740 m of descent, with rollers, berms and optional jumps. Beginner-friendly but never dull. Access via the FlemXpress and the Gronda Trail.
  • Foppa Trail (Flims, new in 2026): green, 3.5 km, from the Foppa top station down to the valley – the entry point for families, kids and anyone who has never ridden a built trail.
  • Gronda Trail: blue, the link from Foppa to the Runca Trail – together the long flow descent.
  • Never End Trail (from Crap Sogn Gion): freeride line, technically demanding, for experienced riders. The name says it all.
  • Nagens Trail: starts in open terrain and gets more technical and rougher lower down – around 5.9 km, 750 m of descent.
  • Segnes Trail (since 2022): enduro trail for advanced riders, connecting to the Runca Trail.

Current trail conditions and openings are on laax.com and in the INSIDE LAAX app. In spring the Flims trails open from May at weekends (snow permitting); the main season runs from late June to mid-October.

Lifts and bike pass

The FlemXpress gondola in Flims replaces the old Flims–Foppa–Naraus chairlift and is the feeder for Runca, Foppa and Gronda. In Laax the cable car takes you to Crap Sogn Gion (Never End, Nagens). A bike day pass for Zone 1 Flims/Laax was last listed at CHF 60 for adults; multi-day passes and single rides are available too, online or in the app. The Flims Laax Falera guest card gives a discount on the cable cars – ask when you buy.

Rental and service: Flims and Laax have several bike shops with rental bikes (including e-MTBs) and workshops. If you bring your own bike: spare tube, brake pads and a multitool belong in the luggage – the trails are hard on equipment.
