YesFlaine (1600 m) is a ski-in/ski-out resort and runs end in the resort. The Cascades run ends at Sixt, with a free shuttle back.
Gentle green and blue runs, lifts made for learners (magic carpets, rope tows), and an area that isn't mostly steep.
Lots of blue and red runs to explore, and enough vertical for long runs.
Black runs, marked freeride routes and a big vertical.
Scores out of 100, from the runs and lifts on our piste map across the linked ski area, and the resort's vertical. Some resorts, especially smaller ones in Türkiye, are less completely mapped, so their beginner areas and learner lifts may be missing. Swiss and Austrian resorts have no green runs: beginners learn on blues there.
Shady Morning / afternoon sun
Loading runs and lifts… the first load can take ~30 s.
North-facing slopes get little direct sun in winter, so the snow stays cold, dry and grippy for longer, and holds up well into spring. They can feel cold in midwinter: dress warmly.
Follow the sun: east-facing runs (4%) get the morning sun, west-facing ones (18%) the afternoon sun.
How high the runs are · average 1,707 m · 20% at 2,000 m or higher
Much of the skiing is low: great in a snowy midwinter, but check the snow early and late in the season.
