Vrin for beginners

Beginners rating -
60
Perfect
Vrin may not be the best choice 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 newcomers 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.

Vrin for intermediates

Intermediates rating -
Intermediates
Perfect
Intermediate skiers will find Vrin to be a suitable destination with a good mix of blue and red pistes. The resort offers a variety of terrains, including the popular blue runs around the central chairlift and the challenging red runs descending from the peak. The resort's snow reliability and well-maintained slopes provide a consistent and enjoyable skiing experience for intermediate skiers.

Vrin for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Experts
Perfect
Vrin may not be the best fit for advanced skiers seeking adrenaline-pumping challenges. The resort primarily caters to beginners and intermediates, with a majority of its slopes being blue and red. While there are a few black runs, they are not particularly steep or long, and may not provide the level of difficulty that advanced skiers typically crave.

Vrin for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Vrin may not be the first choice for snowboarders. The resort lacks dedicated snowparks or freestyle areas, making it less appealing for those looking to practice tricks or jumps. The terrain is more suited to traditional skiing, with a focus on groomed runs and cross-country trails.

Vrin for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
Vrin may not be the first choice for freeriders as it's a smaller, more family-oriented resort. The terrain is primarily suited for beginners and intermediates, with a focus on groomed runs rather than off-piste opportunities. While there are some natural features to explore, it lacks the extensive backcountry and challenging terrains that off-piste enthusiasts typically seek.

Vrin for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Vrin may not be the first choice for families seeking a ski resort. It's a small, remote village that lacks the amenities and facilities typically found in larger, more established ski resorts. There are no ski schools or beginner-friendly slopes, making it less suitable for families with young or novice skiers. However, for families seeking a quiet, off-the-beaten-path experience, Vrin's untouched beauty and tranquility might be appealing.

Vrin apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
The après-ski scene in Vrin is a tranquil one, perfect for those who prefer a calm end to their day on the slopes. The village is home to a few cozy, traditional Swiss establishments where you can enjoy a quiet drink and local cuisine. The Piz Terri and the Stiva Grischuna are two such places where you can unwind and relish the serene mountain atmosphere.
