Good morning.


This morning, more snow (but of course!) and it is still rather windy generally. The wind has really been blowing the snow around.


We are still expecting things to be calming down from tomorrow and that run of days without large amounts of fresh snow. Maybe even some sun at times. That will be a change from the relentless snowfall basically since it started in December. Hopefully it won't warm up much and we can keep good quality.

Top: 405cm

Base: 290cm


Planned operating lifts:


Number 1 Gondola

Number 1 pair lift
