About Malbun

Malbun sits around 1,600 metres above sea level and supports two genuinely different trips. Winter brings skiing, snowboarding, sledding, skating, and winter walking in a small family-oriented area; summer and early autumn shift the emphasis to hiking, mountain views, and themed trails. January through March and July through September are the clearest general windows for those seasonal experiences. Lift operations depend on weather and maintenance periods, so check current opening dates rather than assuming every mountain facility runs year-round.
