Its large network of pistes caters for all abilities and ambitions, including families, beginners and cruisers, and extends all the way up to 2,500m.
Those who like to take it easy on the slopes can do so in the Ahorn area with its gentle, wide slopes ideal for carving, a family park including the FunRide Ahorn and Albert Adler Tour and the 5.5 km descent to the valley.
