The Skiing

There is an excellent selection of beginners’ areas around the resort. Queues are kept to a minimum because of the many access points round the town which the intermediate and advanced skier can take advantage of and which quickly allow them to be on the challenging open runs above the tree line. The well designed lift system helps better skiers complete the circular tour of the resort in quick time.
