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
