Off the slopes

Ski holidays here allow you to find some great lunchtime sports on the piste, but they tend to be expensive, and in town you'll find plenty of choices to suit every taste and budget. The après ski starts at lunchtime and continues through till the early hours although it is a quite a muted affair if we're honest. For families, there is an excellent ski school, and first-class childcare facilities, and plenty of other activities including snow-shoeing, ice-skating, sleigh rides, paragliding and helicopter rides.
