There are 10% Beginner (Green) runs, 36% Intermediate (Blue) runs, 33% Advanced (Red) runs and 21% Expert (Black) runs. Valle Nevado also offers extensive off-piste runs across the resort including bowls and easier terrain between groomed runs. The Sun shines on over 80% of the days during Valle Nevado’s ski season!

A ski school with outstanding teachers has been opened. It includes a new “school house”, its own lift and a 60 meter Magic Carpet. There is a large freestyle Terrain Park for boarders. Snow board lessons on three levels are also offered.
