Advanced skiers have access to the same areas as the intermediates as well as 6 fantastic blacks, offering steep chutes, dynamic drops and mogul fields. You can get many miles under your belt too with the incredible off piste and the ski school with hire you a guide to take you to areas you only dream off.

Snowboarders will love the wide cruisy runs this resort has to offer, and well at the top notch terrain parks with flicks and tips to entertain.
