LAAX, Switzerland Unveils New ‘Whoop De Doo’ Snowpark for 2024-25 Winter Season: Perfect for Beginners and Advanced Riders – Travel And Tour World

As the 2024-2025 winter season kicks off, Europe’s leading freestyle resort, LAAX, Switzerland, is unveiling several exciting new additions to its offerings. Among the most anticipated is the debut of the new ‘Whoop De Doo’ snowpark, designed with both beginners and advanced freestyle riders in mind. The park will feature rolling waves, smooth troughs, and banked curves, making it the ultimate spot for those eager to try freestyle skiing or snowboarding in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

The ‘Whoop De Doo’ snowpark will be a prime destination for riders of all levels to hone their skills in an entry-level slope that allows for easy cruising. Beginners can test out their moves in a safe space, while experienced skiers and snowboarders can enjoy the chance to slow down and enjoy the breathtaking alpine scenery surrounding the park. For those seeking to perfect their skills on more advanced terrain, the newly revamped Free60 snowpark will transition to a freeride slope with kick rails and boxes, perfect for thrill-seekers looking to tackle box jumps.

Winter Offerings and Expanded Facilities at LAAX

In addition to the new snowpark, LAAX is introducing a range of family-friendly and exciting offerings designed to enhance the resort’s already extensive winter program. Visitors can expect unique excursions, including an opportunity to meet local mountain rescue dogs, who are renowned for their role in keeping skiers and snowboarders safe throughout the winter season. For those looking for a break from the slopes, the newly expanded Freeride Base Nagens, reopening on December 21, will provide a relaxed café experience with an emphasis on healthy vegetarian offerings such as fresh salads and soups.

The Freeride Base Nagens used to be a small café specializing in light snacks and coffee, but with the expansion, the space will now offer a more diverse menu for guests to enjoy. This new setup will be perfect for a mid-ski break to refuel in a cozy, modern setting with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains.

Another exciting addition is the Segneshütte, which will transition to a full-service concept starting December 21. Renovations have given this beloved mountain hut a more modern yet cozy feel, while the menu has been updated to focus on traditional regional Swiss dishes, offering hearty meals that reflect the alpine heritage of the area. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick snack or enjoying a full meal, Segneshütte promises a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all guests.

The Freestyle Academy Reopens After Renovations

LAAX’s famous Freestyle Academy is also making a comeback this winter after undergoing two years of renovations. The upgraded facility is set to reopen with a host of new features designed to take freestyle training to the next level. One of the most exciting updates is the addition of a fivesquare trampoline complete with 360-degree cameras, which will help freestyle enthusiasts perfect their moves in a safe environment. The skatebowl has also been expanded in size, and the parkour zone now includes a new jumping tower and airbag for practicing tricks in a controlled setting.

In addition to the updates for older children and adults, LAAX is making sure that younger guests are not left out. The newly opened KIDS Freestyle Academy, which was launched in 2023, is designed for children aged 0-8. This area allows the youngest visitors to practice their first jumps and tricks in a safe, fun environment, offering the perfect introduction to freestyle sports for the next generation of snow enthusiasts.
