The Pistes

The pistes are beautifully and lovingly prepared and remain in top condition all day long due to the lack of crowds. The lower slopes offer wonderful sweeping runs through the trees while the upper slopes provide truly breathtaking descents. You can explore tree-lined greens, gentle blues, wide and fast reds and challenging blacks. For beginners, the resort also has adult and children's nursery slopes.

Located just 25 metres from the chalets, the pistes run from 1550m to 2620m with the north-west facing slopes enjoying excellent snow throughout the winter.
