The Season

Natural snow; a groomed base runs deeper.
Character
50% of its trail length is novice or easy, against 30% for North American resorts of 10–25 km, but the share is measuring a small mountain: 6 km of it. 3 of its 6 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.
