Alpine charm in buckets.
Sitting down at the bar at the Riders Hotel in Laax, Switzerland, my attention is briefly drawn from the sweeping alpine landscape to a number of curious black dots on the glass windows of the hotel. A kooky decor decision? Nope. A quick Google search teaches me that they are scientifically proven to prevent bird collisions, in order to protect the local wildlife. When my drink arrives, it of course comes with a reusable glass straw.
With exposed wood details and modern mid-century touches, the Riders Hotel strikes an ideal balance between cosy and contemporary, which is no mean feat. The hotel lobby and bar is where the fun starts. After hours, there's a buzzy cocktail-style bar , where guests and visitors mingle for one of the coolest après-ski experiences I've ever had. Après-ski delights Speaking of: Laax is equally vibrant after the sun sets.
