The practice slope in See in detail

Perfect for those first few metres

The practice slope in See is situated at the top station of the Medrigjochbahn, right in the heart of the family ski area. The area is set back from the fast runs, ensuring there is plenty of space and peace and quiet for relaxed practice. The gentle slope and the flat run-out provide a sense of security right from the start, as nothing is too steep: ideal for developing a feel for the skis and your balance. Perfect conditions, then, for a beginners’ ski course.

The three conveyor belts and the platter lift are easy to operate and simple to use. They ensure that the journey up is just as easy as the run down. This means that children in particular can practise the same manoeuvres many times over, which is the best way to make rapid progress.
