WE LIKE

Great skiing and boarding for all standards and conected to Ortler Skiarena
For a 'small' resort, there's over 2000m vertical to keep you busy
Stay in the Berghotel Grawand at 3212 - Europe's highest hotel!

WE DON'T LIKE

Immediate slopes limiting for a week's holiday - but plan to visit the Ortler skiarena
Early snow not always enough to cover all the icy areas from the summer skiing
A small quiet resort with a lot going for it - but not right for everyone
