Our first Laax weekend of the season takes us straight to the Flem Mountain Lodge – the ideal starting point for an unforgettable cruise and ride adventure. We will be staying in stylishly furnished rooms that have been designed with great attention to detail. In the morning, a delicious breakfast with fresh, regional products awaits us – just to our taste. Fortified with what is probably the best coffee in Flims – freshly brewed by real baristas on a portafilter machine – we set off on Sunday morning to enjoy the snow. The ski resort is one of our absolute favourite destinations – and rightly so: Laax impresses with perfectly groomed slopes, state-of-the-art lifts, breathtaking views and a unique vibe. Whether you're looking for a relaxed ride or a sporty powder run, this is the place to be for winter sports enthusiasts.

Yes, you’ve read that right.

Usually, we take you on a relaxing trip to the mountains in winter – but this time we’re heading to the Cannstatter Wasen together.

Together with Wulle – our long-standing partner and (in our opinion) the best brewery in the world – we’ve put together a really cracking Wasen package for you on Wednesday 30 September 2026, from 6 pm.

For just €27 per person, our first Cruise and Ride Wasen Special awaits you – offering a whopping 37% discount on the regular price of €42.90.

Look forward to an evening with lots of familiar faces from our ski and snowboard trips, new acquaintances, good conversation and delicious Wulle on tap. The perfect opportunity to catch up with old travelling companions, meet new people and kick off the countdown to winter together.

Our Cruise and Ride crew will welcome you in person at the venue and, as an extra treat, present each participant with one of our new Cruise and Ride belts.

Please note:
The Wasen Special is not a traditional coach trip but is listed here as a special Community Special exclusively for you. Travel to and from the event is at your own arrangement.

Cruise and Ride is responsible for organising the group and the reserved seats. The rest of the booking process is handled directly by Göckelesmaier Festbetriebs GmbH.
