Chalin Valog 2

that is run number 16.

I was just looking at Ullens web site and it describes this run as:; Its suitable for both: Pros and Beginners.To get there you have to take the Gondola lift and step out at the intermediate station.

I am not sure i would attempt that as a beginner, I do not think it is any easier than Tomba, ok it is wider, but a long way down if you fall, i have seen people fall at the top and get up at the bottom.

Remember there are two ways down from the midstation.

1)Left down the mountain is a black, which I think is steeper than Tomba.

2) Right down the mountain is a red/black that joins onto an easy red. Then....there is the 'blue' ski road that joins from the top of four man at gondola mid station to the easy red i described above. Beware. This blue is more like a red, very narrow.

If you are a begginer and want to access the beginners area at bottom of chalin Valog I would recommend ...

If you are a begginer and want to access the beginners area at bottom of chalin Valog I would recommend skiing down the ski road that starts from top of gondola station.

You can always get off at the mid station at then use the chair lift down, they will slow the lift down to get on. We did this with our kids last year as i didn't want them coming down the ski road, but we wanted to use the nursery area which is excellent.

re: Chalin Valog 2

you are right, it is a good nursery area. I was going to drive up there as some beginner friends are coming and i know the road is easy, but still difficult for novices, getting the lift down is a better idea. Thanks

Was a life saver when tomba was closed for a competition last year. If your a decent skier or boarder you should def give it a go.
