Depending on your timing we can take Helpers at any time of the year except May and June, winter ski mountains are open until May 6th and there is still a lot of snow.
We are located only 100m from the main ski lifts.
Depending on the policies set by the ski resort committee, we may have some shared ski passes that you can use for free.
