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!
