"Wonderful ski field"

Wonderful ski field that offers so many options to ski. And a number of places to have a great coffee and a snack too. All of the staff are friendly and the vibe and atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Great all round mountain, perfect for a large group of beginners to advanced skiers and boarders, terrain for everyone. Off mountain facilities are great too.
