In addition to skiing, you can also enjoy winter fun on the sledding track. Hop on a sled or a snow tube and slide down the hill like in your younger days. And how about a snowball fight? Take a trip down memory lane with your little ones and build a snowman together. Or perhaps a snow fort? Whatever you manage to build out of snow, your children will certainly appreciate the time you spend with them.

If your little ones want to learn how to ski or snowboard, but you do not know how to teach them, enroll them in the ski school. A team of instructors will teach them the correct skiing and snowboarding techniques. Additional services at the resort include a ski service and a ski equipment rental.
