Try the guided tours and cheese tasting in the local fromagerie. The nightlife at the resort is low key, with a good selection of excellent value for money bars and restaurants. L'Oule Rouge restaurant is popular for traditional cuisine and Le Skwal for seafood specialities. La Grenouillère has a good, lively après ski atmosphere.
