WE LIKE

  • Larger local piste area (shared with Les Gets) than other resorts in the vast Portes du Soleil area
  • Good nightlife by French standards - although not a wild part town
  • Lots of tree-lined runs - but beginner slopes not good for smaller children

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Bus-ride or long walk to lifts from much of the accommodation
  • Only a few tough pistes for experts with limited off piste close to home
  • Weekend crowds can get unbearable and it is also busy in peak school holiday periods
