Although many runs at “Meran 2000” fall into the category red, only absolute beginners will be overchallenged. “Meran 2000”, however, unfortunately lacks a short practice slope. The only lift in the beginner category is the carpet-lift at the children’s area. This lift can also be used by older beginners doing their first steps on skis. With a little more skiing experience, however, all slopes can be taken without risk. The category red run from the 2260 meters high “Mittager” is the only exception. The category blue runs from the mountain station of the gondola down to “Hafling” is particularly recommendable to absolute beginners and less skilled skiers.
