Located on Mount Vermio, it offers 17 ski tracks (14 km of descent) with various difficulty levels, including four slopes for children, 8 km of langlauf (cross-country) tracks, and snowboard tracks. The resort features 11 lifts (one aerial, six surface, four baby lifts), a chalet with a bar, cafe, and restaurant, and ski schools with equipment rentals. Trails are certified by F.I.S. for competitions, and the resort supports mountaineering with access to the E4 hiking route.
