General information.

The grooming is done according to the opening schedule of the ski resort. If there is a storm while the resort is closed, the trails will not be groomed until it opens.

The trails are on private property. Please take this into account: stay on the trails, do not cut trees, and do not liter.

The trails are one-way with some two-way sections. Each trail forms a loop that starts and ends at the same point.

The start is 150 m north of the resort's waxing room. The parking lot north of the main parking lot is a good place to start.
