WE LIKE
- Excellent Blue and Red runs perfect for children and adults
- When there's powder it lays undiscovered for days as Italians stick to the pistes
- New terrain park and plenty of off piste for boarders
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- Sometimes suffers from lack of big snowfall in the peak season
- At busy periods the ski lifts can suffer a bit
- Not the livliest après-ski - which is a shame as it is very cheap!
