Visitor Reviews of Grächen


MJardim from PORTUGAL writes:

Not really my favorite!
Slopes in very bad condition, not maintained at all, lots of ice and snow 'puddles'. Specially the last one to come down to the resort... and always crowded with people skiing or just falling....Maybe for some crazy... it makes it more chalenging, but I like smooth well treated slopes where I can gain speed and have fun....vacations....
