Character

5 of its 5 lifts are surface tows, and there is no gondola or cable car — the lift fleet says small hill more plainly than the trail count does. 76% of its trail length is novice or easy, against 46% for European resorts of 10–25 km, but the share is measuring a small mountain: 8 km of it. It is a small hill: 11 km of trails, against 46 km for the median European resort on a pass. Most of what the independents' passes sell is this size.
