About the area

Madrisa is mostly a red-run area: of 27 km of pistes, 16 km are red, so confident intermediates get the most out of it. Easy terrain is limited to 6 km (22%), though beginners do get four magic carpets and five short easy runs next to a lift base. Hard skiing is a modest 6 km (21%), including 3 km of marked freeride, so experts will run out of options quickly. Families should note that only one gondola avoids chairlift loading with small children.

The area runs from 1151 m up to 2614 m, with 740 m of vertical on the longest single descent and a longest run of 4696 m. Twelve lifts serve it: one gondola, two chairlifts, two T-bars, one platter, two further drag lifts and the four magic carpets, so lower slopes rely heavily on surface lifts.
