Duvede

If you prefer more quiet life, choose Duvede. The slopes here are so good that ski instructors themselves and professional skiers prefer to ride here. In Dyuvede and Tegefelle snow is light and deep. There are many trails, so it’s never to crowded on the slopes.

These features are highly appreciated by the snowboarders.
