WE LIKE

  • Resort slopes good for all levels - even experts with some challenging runs
  • Part of the extensive Milky Way area so boarders can get to more dedicated pistes
  • Snowmaking covers all but one or two marginal slopes

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Unfortunately the village is a bit of an eyesore and is not an alpine classic!
  • Queues for lifts on weekends and peak holiday times can be a 'mare
  • Limited après-ski during the week - but livens up a bit at weekends
