Super Slick yet Simple // Relaxed Atmosphere // Young Guests…read moreMe and my friends have been spending a few days every season at the Riders Palace in Laax for the last 3 years. The young crowd and the simple and informal setup is very inviting if you're not looking for the formalities of a regular hotel. The design of the building and the rooms is very slick yet simple and comfortable, something typically Swiss in my opinion. They also have a bar in the ground floor and a club in the basement. On the weekends the bar tends to get crowded because usually there is live music in the club and people commute between the two. The 360 rooms are equivalent to the RP middle class and tend to be around CHF 75 / person and night which is probably the cheapest private room you'll find in Laax. Here you have 3 beds and a sofa or a fatboy, as well as a TV, a private shower, sink, and a toilet, all of which are separate. The rooms are very comfortable and safe due to multiple cardreaders you need to pass to access a room. They have 2 large rooms in the basement where guests can store and dry their boards and gear, as well as a storage room where you can keep your luggage if you wanna go boarding/skiing on your last day or before you can check in. This room has a shower and towels as well which is very very useful. My Dislikes: The parties get really noisy and the bass makes your bed vibrate if your room is close to the club. The toilets have no proper ventilation so that RP decided to cut off the top and bottom 10cm of the door which can lead to very uncomfortable situations if you know what I mean. IMO the prices are a bit too high considering you don't even get a proper breakfast.

I've been to the Arosa ski resort twice, and it's been a pretty good experience both times. There…read moreare plenty of runs, and for a beginner like me, there are a lot of good blue options. It was a bit confusing at first, and I actually ended up going the wrong way. But it became a happy accident because I discovered the Hörnli Express, which was a long gondola ride that I could use to go on a long blue run #5 going down. It became my favorite run to practice snowboarding on. I like how there are a lot of chair lift and gondola options for T-bar adverse users like me. There are also several snow parks and good sledding options. I also saw a lot of hikers on the mountain. So fun for all!

Beautiful skiing area in one of the loveliest ski resorts in Switzerland…read more Pros: Well-groomed slopes with a good variety of difficulty levels. The lifts operate smoothly with minimal interruption, and they're fast enough that the line never takes too long. Plenty of restaurants up on the slopes too. Cons: Quite expensive. Pretty sure this is one of the most expensive ski passes you can buy in Switzerland, especially considering the fact that these slopes don't really connect to anything else. I know my brother has managed to get to another area with a professional guide, going through a lot of off-slope areas, but the Arosa area is definitely not as well-connected as other ski resorts. in the region.

Heididorf is the setting of the book Heidi, which I have no connection to, but it's nestled into…read morethe town of Maienfield, which is worth visiting even if you're not a Heidi fan. Maienfield is located in the Swiss Alps so just visiting that gives some gorgeous mountain and nature views. In Heididorf, one thing I did love was there were GOATS! They were so cute just freely walking around and sitting on the little rocks. Chickens too! There are also some very pretty flowers blooming all over the pastures, so you will truly feel like you're in a provincial Swiss novel. I think Heididorf is worth a visit, if you're a fan of Heidi or just of cool small villages, mountains, and nature!

The Raclette was very tasty, though cooled off too quickly for my taste--but that may just be the way the dish is. The restaurant is nice, but feels like a hotel restaurant (which it is) rather than a dining establishment.
