WE LIKE

  • Charming old village, with car-free centre and stylish shops and bars. Dramatic scenery in which to ski in as it nestles on the southeastern slope of the Mont Blanc massif
  • Day trips to Chamonix for different skiing and boarding at all levels
  • Heli-skiing available on glacier all year round

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Best for intermediates and experts, lack of nursery slopes and easy runs for beginners to progress to
  • Few really tough pistes for skiers or boarders but great off piste. Cant ski back down to the resort and often a long walk from accomodation to main lifts
  • Slopes can be very crowded on Sundays if weather good(only 90 minutes from Geneva and Turin so very busy at weekends)
