Character

70% of its trail length is novice or easy, against 44% for European resorts of 25–60 km, but the share is measuring a small mountain: 18 km of it. 8 of its 12 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.
