Lift Pass / Ski Hire / Lessons

On the left is the piste map showing the locations of the runs and the 8 chairlifts, gondola lift and 6 drag lifts. Please click on it to enlarge it. The ski area extends from the town (1000m) up to 2600m in altitude and there is a hug wide 16km long blue (easy/intermediate) run that connects these points.

 Ski & Snowboard Lessons

Our experience through the years has shown that any school in resort has good and bad instructors and ensuring quality can be a lottery. As such we now work with 4 different ski schools in resort and hand pick the best ENGLISH SPEAKING instructors (for whom we have received excellent feedback from our guests). You will get the benefit of our experience and our contacts to ensure that you are happy with your lessons. You can choose to book:

a) 1 on 1 lessons (which means that you get a private instructor to yourself) at 9am, 11am or 2pm.

b) private group lessons (which means that you get a private instructor for 2-6 people from your group) at 9am, 11am or 2pm. Each group has to have people of a similar ability.

c) mixed group lessons (where you will be taught together with other people from the resort with up to 12 people in a group) at 11am. Please note that although this is the cheapest option it’s not necessarily the best value as there can be a lot of waiting around.
