The slope preparation is excellent.
Spieljoch invests a lot in optimal slope grooming. The runs are groomed in the evening after the ski day has ended and in the morning before it opens. The runs are usually still in optimal condition even in the afternoon.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.
