Falera is a municipality in the Surselva Region in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

Falera is a part of the Alpenarena along with the towns of Flims and Laax and is the most secluded of the three.

Around the church are stone pillars (megaliths or menhirs), arranged geometrically, that are said to date around 1500 B.C.

Today, Falera is mostly overshadowed by the other two villages of the Alpenarena: Laax and Flims.

Most people that have apartments in Falera do not live there year-round, but rather use them as vacation homes and weekend trips.
