There are now three modern chairlifts servicing virtually all of the resort and, despite Malbun's modest size, there is a good range of skiing from nursery slopes through runs of increasing difficulty, including one short, steep black and some off-piste.

The resort is uncrowded and friendly, and in the Hotel Gorfion it has an excellent ski-in, ski-out family hotel where you can deposit your kids in the ski school opposite or leave them in the hotel's supervised nursery as late as 8pm. One interesting feature is that they will even take kids in their pyjamas from 7am twice a week to allow parents a lie-in!
