KALMONT MOUNTAIN

All ski runs with a maximum gradient of 25 per cent are marked green. Short off-piste sections are excluded. Green ski runs are ideal for beginners, children and returning skiers. They are good for learning and practising basic skills and are usually relatively wide.

The average gradient range of a blue ski run is between 25 and 40 per cent. Blue runs are usually slightly narrower than green ones and ideal for advanced skiers and snowboarders. Many winter sports enthusiasts use blue runs to prepare for steeper terrain or to fine-tune their carving technique. However, short turns are also very enjoyable on intermediate runs.

All slopes with a gradient of more than 40 per cent are marked black. For beginners, skiing on black ski runs is dangerous. Those who are experienced in short turns and fast-paced skiing will have a lot of fun on them, though. Carving, on the other hand, is not advisable on steep slopes. Are red slopes still a challenge for you? Then you should stay away from black runs.

off-piste terrain:
Everything outside the marked ski runs is off-piste terrain-often also called backcountry. These areas are not checked, groomed or secured. They should therefore only be used by experienced skiers and snowboarders.
