What colour of slope is right for me?

As is common in most ski resorts, the slopes of Kappl are categorised in different colours depending on their difficulty level. For instance, black slopes indicate particularly steep descents only suitable for experienced skiers. The numbers on the signposts are for orientation purposes.

Slope overview:

• Five blue slopes: Perfect for beginners. Wide, flat runs offer enough space to practice.
• Eight red slopes: Mostly flat runs with some steeper sections. Perfect for carving and relaxed skiing!
• Four black slopes: Perfect for advanced skiers and pros. Steep gradients, mogul slopes or special runs – there are many challenging choices for discerning winter sports athletes!
• Five ski routes: A “route” is a slope that is marked and secured but not groomed. Ideal for powder lovers and adventure seekers!

If you don’t want your ski holiday to end in hospital, it’s important to stick to certain rules up on the mountain. To ensure the safety of all winter sports athletes, the International Ski Federation (FIS) has established a code of conduct. In addition to the FIS rules, it’s also important to check up on avalanche warnings and weather reports!
