Laax opens new trail for advanced skiers
The Segnes Trail in Laax opens this Friday (19 August). The red-marked trail is aimed at advanced bikers, but the Swiss region wants to become more and more suitable for families and beginners in the future.
The red-marked Enduro Trail is aimed at advanced bikers. It starts at the Segneshütte on 2100 metres and leads to 2.7 kilometres and about 310 metres altitude directly to the start of the Runca Trail. The upper, rocky part of the trail is characterised by the Flims landslide. In the direction of Runca Trail it becomes increasingly flowy and playful. The trail builders from Allegra Tourismus were commissioned with the construction. The trail professionals with locations in Switzerland and Austria are focussing on the natural character of the new Segnes Trail. Elements such as stone slabs, jumps and berms are intended to add plenty of variety to the latest trail in Laax.

In future, the Segnes Trail will serve as a connection to the Runca Trail via the new gondola lift Flem Xpressas soon as the Flims-Foppa-Naraus chairlift is dismantled. Once the Fleets Xpress is completed, the three trails in Laax, Runca, Nagens and Segnes, will be directly accessible by cable car from spring 2025.
