The slopes in the ski area Disentis 3000 are well-groomed and very diverse. Most of the pistes are rather steep but still not too demanding. A 12 km long slope starting at the Péz Ault spans 1700 m of altitude.

Doucy Combelouvière has been carefully designed respecting the village tradition of regrouping chalet-style buildings around a central square making it the focal point of the resort.

The most southern ski mountain in the region of Villach (at an altitude of 680 m - 1600 m) has been the centre of attraction for sporty locals from the Lower Gail valley since the 1930s.
