Ski Slope Classification: What Do the Colours Mean?
Ski slopes are divided into three main categories, identified by colours:
- Blue Slope: Ideal for beginners and families.
- Red Slope: For intermediate skiers.
- Black Slope: Reserved for experts.
This ski slope classification helps you understand which slope is best suited to your abilities. But let's see in detail what each type of slope offers.
1. Blue Slopes: For Beginners Skiing or Snowboarding
The blue slopes are perfect for those who are taking their first steps on skis or a snowboard. Main features:
- Moderate slope: ideal for learning without risk.

If you are a beginner, the Andalo ski schools offer ski lessons and snowboard courses dedicated precisely to these slopes. Our instructors will guide you step by step, guaranteeing fun and safe learning.
