We find 11 trails for all levels (2 black, 2 red, 5 blue and 2 green). They run along the gently sloping slopes of the snow front (green and blue slopes) and on a beautiful slope rest under the Pic de Pénédis (Coste Rouge sector where we find the black and red slopes).

The 15 km of sliding at elevations between 1500 m and 1800 m of altitude are served by 5 lifts (4 lifts and 1 telecord). The snow cover is granted thanks to  25 snow cannons.

You can learn the basics of skiing in the snow garden, in the beginner’s area, or trying the green piste at Les Marmottes.
