REVIEWS
Mt Lyford Alpine Resort
Great for sledging 😍 and skiing. Affordable prices! We rented a donut for sledging for 1 hour and it was more than enough, the sledging track is really long and steep enough to have as much fun as we needed 😂
We had a great time up there. Well worth going here to ski great area for kids and nice runs for beginners and intermediate. Lovely club house very relaxed with great room to stretch out with children. No queues no hassles all the fun with no barrage of people. Beautiful spot and would love to come back in the summer too. Very nice people well done.
Small family run skifield. Great runs when snow. Very very relaxed. Great learner slopes and deals. We go for afternoons as catches afternoon sun. Half day pad makes it affordable for families.
Amazing location and would be incredible with more snow. However some really strange interactions from a few staff members left us feeling a little strange at the end of the day. The Canadian lifty out on the big rope tow was awesome though, he was putting in some solid mahi! Also take lots of water there is no where to fill bottles
