Veysonnaz Reviews
We have visited Veysonnaz twice staying in the fabulous Chalet Lususa. The skiing is very good, very varied and we had great powder during our last trip at half term 2009. The ski guiding is brilliant, friendly and helpful and the children 12 and 14 really enjoyed the snow boarding lessons from a young cool dude! The village is small with just about everything you need plus a night club and some good bars full of really friendly local people. Everyone in the village was helpful especially in the tourist office, this is a really lovely place and even at half term didn't feel busy at all and any queues moved quickly.
