What agencies ask
- Is there always snow?
- No. Snow depends on the winter. Outside the snow season the day is about the pastures, the engravings and walking.
- Can guests ski?
- In a good snow season, with equipment hire and the lift if it is running, confirmed close to the date.
- Is the altitude a problem?
- The plateau is high, so we keep the walking easy. Guests with heart or breathing conditions should check with their doctor.
