For skiers travelling with children who want a ski-only mountain beside a hotel; snowboards are not permitted.
NASPA has eight runs across the hill, with easy, intermediate and advanced choices. A kids’ garden is marked near the lower slopes.
Find the hotel-side base and Pingu Kids Garden before choosing a lift. Follow the coloured course letters from Mt NASPA back to that base.
