LAAX Homes - Taviarna Laax 4,5

Located approx. 600m from the Crap Sogn Gion gondola, Taviarna Laax is a perfect accommodation for skiers. If you'd like additional comfort you can rent a locker at the bottom station. The apartment is spacious, light, well-organised (lot's of storage space) and was very clean. The Mountain View is absolutely amazing even though the apartment is on the 1st floor and so has relatively little direct sunshine. Inside the building there is a ski room and a laundry room - free to use with the laundry card.

The kitchen could be better equipped - there could be more plates, silverware, glasses as well as wine glasses. Although that is a small detail. The more important one is the sewage system smell in the bathroom which intensified upon turning on the fan. Hopefully it gets fixed. The price is on the higher end but I imagine that's normal around school holidays.

The apartment is exactly as in the photos. It is located on the 1st floor of the new building which has an elevator. There is a big terrace with a view (mainly on the neighboring building, but you can see the mountains as well). The apartment has lot's of light and is super warm due to heated floors. We found in the apartment everything which is needed for a pleasant stay, including lots of spare towels, a hairdryer, a coffee machine, dish washer, lot's of cookware with fondue and raclette makers. The apartment was clean, the bedlinen looked new. The wifi was fast, so in principle one could telework from there. Those coming by car can use a free underground parking spot. As we came to Laax by public transport, we didn't use the parking. We collected the keys at Laax Homes office located at the ski lift station, they were open on Saturday and Sunday. All in all, our stay was super pleasant, we liked the apartment. It was very cosy and we felt like home there.

The apartment in principle has just 2 disadvantages: 1) It is located up the hill (450 meters from the ski lift station). Like really up and the way is not easy. The sidewalks were always icy and slippery. We had to carry our luggage up the hill on the day of arrival, as when we got the keys from Laax Homes office, there was no transfer provided. And after a long day at the slopes we had to to walk up, carrying our equipment and groceries, which was super tiring. There is a bus number 124 which can take you up the hill, but the last ride is at 16:53! So in case you want to enjoy apres-ski, you'll have to walk back home (alternatively you can use an e-shuttle taxi option available via Laax mobile app, but one ride will cost you 24 CHF). The walk on icy sideways is definitely not for senior people or people with leg issues or families with toddlers. Another thing - the house does not face the road; in fact it is the 3rd building to the right of the road. Useful to have this in mind, as there are no numbers on these houses, so not very easy to find it. 2) The apartment does not have a place to dry your outdoor clothes. There are no radiators, just heated floors. So we had to use the 4 available chairs to dry our outfits after the day at the slopes.
