WE LIKE

  • Extensive, varied local terrain to suit everyone from beginners to experts plus the rest of the Three Valleys is on hand.
  • Impressive lift system, piste maintenance and snowmaking.
  • Relaxed more laid back atmosphere than 1850 and fewer pretentious people!

WE DON'T LIKE

  • A little limited on immediate local pistes - but you have access to the whole of the Trois Vallees.
  • Nightlife very quiet - but then there's 1850 just up the road.
  • Can get busy at weekends and in peak season.
