The slope preparation is excellent.
The snow cats do their magic every night creating perfect slopes throughout the entire ski resort. Especially the difficult runs are in top condition.
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.
