Natural half tube
The ski slopes are of moderate difficulty, with only one particularly narrow section near the summit, allowing only one person to pass at a time. The middle section is covered in trees, leading into a natural half-pipe terrain, which is quite interesting and challenging. The summit cafe in the Tangram area of Madarao offers beautiful views.
