Ukuhamba-hamba
Easy walk to the mountain!
The easiest access to the mountain is walking on the path that is just adjacent to the end of our driveway. We have found it works well for our family to drive up the first day and have one person drop everyone and all the equipment off, then we use the ski check near the gondola to store the skis overnight so we don't have to bring them back and forth each day. The path is well-maintained year round and plowed during the winter, and takes less than 10 minutes to be at the base of the mountain!
