Winter sports activities for the whole family
The center is divided into different areas suitable for various interests and abilities. The main slope accommodates skiers and snowboarders of all levels and is serviced by two drag lifts providing quick access to the top. For beginners, there is a separate area with gentler slopes and conveyor belts, ideal for gaining first experiences on skis or snowboards. Advanced riders can have fun in the freestyle area equipped with rails, boxes, and jumps, perfect for tricks and stunts. In addition to the sporting offer, there is also a Snow Park, particularly popular with families, where visitors can slide down the slopes on sledges, donuts, or air cushions - a fun alternative for those who don't necessarily want to ski.
