Ski trails are usually divided into three categories:
🟢🔵 Green/blue - easy tracks for beginners. Ideal for those who are just starting out.
🔴 Red ones are for confident skiers with some experience.
⚫️ Black - steep slopes for professionals and those who like extreme.

When choosing a ski resort, it is important to take into account the height above sea level, the number of kilometers of slopes and lifts.
Altitude of the resort : not all adults feel comfortable at 1800 - 2300m, because the weather at such an altitude can be windy and cold. For beginner skiers, the best option would be a resort at an altitude of 1300-1500 meters, where the climate is milder.
The more variety of trails the resort offers and lifts, the more opportunities there are for recreation and exploring new places.
