Isola 2000 ski resort
Due to the ski resort's high altitude, you can generally ski back to your accommodation in Isola 2000 at the end of the day. With the lowest ski slope in Isola 2000 at an altitude of 1840m, you always ski above the treeline and the snow conditions are guaranteed. Most of the resort's afternoon and evening entertainment takes place in a good selection of apres-ski bars and cafes which are located in the rather out-dated indoor arcade. There is a special snowboarders' club, the Back to Back Club, with a sports room, table tennis table, table football, internet access, library and video games. There are also 2 nightclubs in Isola 2000 and a good choice of restaurants and the resort is not far from the border with Italy.
