Cumbel for beginners

Beginners rating -
60
Perfect
Cumbel may not be the best fit for beginners as it lacks the extensive beginner-friendly infrastructure found in larger resorts. The resort does not have a dedicated nursery area or ski school for beginners to learn and practice their skills. Additionally, the limited number of easy slopes and lack of easy-to-use lifts accessible from beginner areas make it less suitable for those new to skiing.

Cumbel for intermediates

Intermediates rating -
Intermediates
Perfect
Intermediate skiers will find Cumbel to be a suitable destination with a good mix of blue and red pistes. The resort offers a variety of terrains, including tree-lined routes and open slopes, providing a balanced mix of scenic descents and varied challenges. The resort's lift system is efficient, allowing skiers to explore different areas and enhance their skiing experience.

Cumbel for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Experts
Perfect
Cumbel may not be the best fit for advanced skiers. The resort primarily offers blue and red runs, which are more suitable for beginners and intermediates. The lack of challenging black runs and off-piste opportunities may leave advanced skiers wanting more.

Cumbel for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Cumbel may not be the first choice for snowboarders. The resort lacks specialized facilities like snowparks, half-pipes, or terrain parks that are typically sought after by snowboarding enthusiasts. The terrain is more suited for traditional skiing, making it less appealing for those looking to snowboard or freestyle.

Cumbel for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
Cumbel may not be the first choice for freeriders as it lacks the extensive off-piste terrain found in larger resorts. The area is more suited to beginners and intermediate skiers, with a focus on groomed runs rather than challenging off-piste adventures. However, for those who enjoy a quieter, more relaxed skiing experience, Cumbel offers beautiful scenery and well-maintained slopes.

Cumbel for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Cumbel may not be the first choice for families seeking a comprehensive ski resort experience. The resort is relatively small and lacks the extensive facilities and amenities found in larger resorts. However, for families who prefer a quiet, less crowded environment, Cumbel offers a peaceful retreat with a few beginner-friendly slopes and cross-country skiing trails.

Cumbel apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
The après-ski scene in Cumbel is a tranquil one, ideal for those seeking a peaceful end to their day on the slopes. The resort is dotted with cozy, traditional Swiss mountain huts where you can enjoy a hot chocolate or a glass of local wine. For a more lively atmosphere, you can head to nearby Vella, where you can find a handful of bars and restaurants.
