Who in your group rides what
Whether everyone in your group gets a day at Flims Laax Falera - the grades on offer, the named zones, and how mixed abilities split up.

Group split: beginners ride the green Foppa trail from Flims-Foppa or the blue Gronda; intermediates take Runca; advanced riders take Nagens-Green Valley-Runca (~1,200 m) or the Crap Sogn Gion freeride and Never End. Uplift via Flims-Foppa and Laax-Crap Sogn Gion gondolas; turn around at mid-stations.
