San Bernardino
About the area
San Bernardino's Confin sector is a compact 20 km area where the middle grades dominate: 8 km of red runs against 8 km of green and blue, plus 4 km rated black or expert — about 21% of the terrain. That mix suits confident intermediates best. Beginners can get started, but only two short easy runs sit next to a lift base, and the share of steep terrain is high for a small area. Experts will find the pitch limited: the biggest continuous vertical on a single run is 557 m.
Six lifts serve the slopes: one gondola, one chairlift, three T-bars and a rope tow. Families with small children should note that the gondola is the only lift without chairlift-style loading. Skiing runs from 1,639 m at the base to 2,503 m at the top, and the longest single descent measures 2,792 m.
