The ski centre boasts all the contents required to ensure your full enjoyment, from a ski school, ski equipment hiring and servicing, to night skiing. It is an ideal destina- tion for a family holiday with children, as you can en- joy numerous hiking tours and lake visits, as well as many traditional ethno-households offering an eco- logical experience of mountain life, complete with riding schools and local cuisine.
