There are 1-3 trips an hour depending on the season and the time of the day. The bus goes via Flims. From there the bus to Falera leaves once an hour (more often during the main season) and takes 7 minutes. Alternatively, there is also an hourly bus from Illanz via Laax which takes around 30 minutes. Buses from Chur are timed to allow changing on the bus to Falera in Laax.

By car
To access Falera by car, look out for the sign towards Falera, when driving through Laax. From there it's a short drive.

Get around
A shuttle bus operated by the Alpenarena runs around Falera in the winter. In the summer it is possible to walk about easier as there is no ice. The town itself is car-free, which means that you will have to leave your car at the entrance of the village, unless you have a special permission.

See
The views of course are the other thing to be seen in Falera. The village sits on a lip of high land overlooking the Surselva with spectacular views both up and down the valley. To the southwest sits the impressive Piz Terri at 3149 meters the highest mountain in the immediate area.
