WE LIKE

Charming quiet resort with good local skiing - especially for advanced
No crowds on or off piste really - which makes for a relaxed family friendly ski area
The Portes du Soleil - what can we say about 650km that's not been said on the other resort review pages

WE DON'T LIKE

Too quiet for some - but use this as a positive!
Local ski fields are limited - however the Portes du Soleil is some back up plan!
Not the best resort to choose for nightlife - pretty quiet after 11!
