About the event

Ovifat is the best-known downhill ski area in the East Cantons: three runs with gradients of 10 to 80 %, including a 600 m blue run for beginners and a steeper red one for confident skiers. A separate 150 m sledging run is kept for sledges only, and snow cannons top up the natural snow when it is cold enough. Snowboards and monoskis are banned for safety reasons. Rental (skis, boots, sledges) and parking are run independently of the club. Tip: on busy days the club advises bringing your own gear and arriving early; without a car, buses 390 (Verviers) and 394 (Eupen) stop in Sourbrodt, 500 m away.
