The “Forest Course” with its gentle slopes is recommended for beginners and families with children. The Intermediate Course, with its wide north-facing slopes, is ideal for practicing and honing your technique.

Exiting at the top of the second lift at the top station, you will find a dynamic advanced course where you can ski while enjoying the panoramic view of the great nature. The quality of the snow is good with silky powder snow, which is appreciated not only by skiers but also by snowboarders.

This ski area is also open for night skiing from Saturday, January 4, 2025 to Saturday, March 23, 2025. The intermediate course, which will be the night skiing course, has been well maintained in the morning and evening to keep the course in good condition.
