WE LIKE
- Suits all levels with great standard of grooming and preparation on piste
- A lot of pistes are fast as well as being wide to suit all
- Good snowfall record - but great snow making back up facilities for early late season
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- The ski resorts all get very busy at weekends with locals - especially in good weather
- Sometimes gets long periods with no snow - which can result in icy/well packed pistes
- Chalet holidays come at a premium - usually tend to be hotel or apartment based holidays in this area
