Where

On the slopes

Snow cover is excellent for a low altitude resort, and won't find many crowds here, but there is quite a lot of travel involved in reaching the different slopes. The trains and buses are organised and run regularly, but this is not for those who like ski in/ski out convenience.

Ski area

Off the slopes

This is a charming little village, popular with families. Although there are plenty of restaurants and bars - even a few clubs - the après-ski would be best described as mellow. All the basic facilities are in evidence, although there is not too much to do away from the slopes. However, this area is very popular with hot-air-balloon enthusiasts.
