Layers you can take off: a thermal base layer, a fleece and a waterproof jacket and trousers. Add gloves, a hat or neck warmer, goggles and sunglasses, and sun cream: the sun is strong at altitude even when it's cold. Helmets are strongly recommended and can be rented.

You can ski any 6 days from the first day you choose to 7 days later, so you can take up to two days off.
Bring your order number or receipt to the ticket office. Multi-day and season passes are blocked and replaced for €10; day passes can't be replaced.
Unused tickets can be refunded until the day before the first day. After an injury, unused days of a multi-day or season pass are refunded with a doctor's certificate.
Lifts stop in strong wind, thunderstorms and very poor visibility, and runs close when avalanche danger is too high. The Summit Express and Ridge T-bar are the most exposed and close first. Check today's conditions and the trail map before you set off.
If more than half the lifts stay closed for the whole day, day-ticket holders get a voucher for another day, and multi-day passes get a day added. Partial closures aren't refunded.
Yes, at your own risk, outside the marked runs and only with avalanche gear and the knowledge to use it. Read the avalanche bulletin first; the Ski Map shows it for real resorts across Europe. Closed areas are closed for your safety.
