Play area and family friendly activity

There are many  activities for beginners in the new area dedicated to those taking their first steps on the snow and designed to guarantee fun.

The Campo Smith area has also been redesigned, so that it offers the ultimate comfort to all those who want to live the first snow experience in a safe environment. These new features with new facilities and new services are open for this season.

Scivolandia, is a playground created specifically for young children just beginning. With an even higher level of safety, it should ensure plenty of fun, without parents worrying. It should be a real winter paradise that will allow the youngest skiers and snowboarders to get acquainted with the snow, between games, inflatables structures  and a carpet lift dedicated to them.

Melezet has a new carpet, which will be a facility that will allow beginners to take advantage of the gentle slopes of the Gavard area to enable them to take their first steps on the slopes. Ski Schools here, provide you with several specialist instructors, specially trained to provide beginners with customized lessons.
