Europe’s leading freestyle resort, LAAX, Switzerland will debut a brand-new snowpark, launching in time for the 2024-25 winter season. The ‘Whoop De Doo’ consists of rolling waves, smooth troughs, and banked curves, making it the ultimate spot for riders of all levels and ages to try their hand at freestyle with an entry-level slope.
Beginners eager to master freestyle will enjoy the easy cruise factor, perfect for testing out new skills, while more advanced skiers and snowboarders will enjoy the chance to slow down and relax while soaking in breathtaking alpine scenery.
Following the introduction of the ‘Whoop De Doo’, the existing Free60 snowpark will transition to a freeride slope. It’s boxes and kick rails will remain, making it a great slope for thrill seekers aiming to perfect their box jumps, but it won’t be regularly maintained as a snowpark. LAAX’s total number of snowparks will therefore remain at five.
‘Whoop De Doo’ joins an extensive programme of excursions and offerings at LAAX this winter, including the chance to greet the local mountain rescue dogs and warm up at the newly expanded Freeride Base Nagens as of 21 December. While the tiny but trendy mountain café used to specialise in snacks and coffees, the newly expanded space places special emphasis on strong vegetarian offerings such as healthy salads and soups alongside little snacks, sweet treats and coffee.
The updated Segneshütte will also transition from a semi-service concept to a self-service and serviced area from 21 December. Current renovations will give the interior a cosy but modern feel while the menu will focus on traditional, regional and Swiss cuisine.
