Brilliant -
24/02/2020
A fabulous place to ski for my family. The weather was amazing, which helps, but the resort has something to offer everyone. The blacks are great the reds long and fast and even better it is nowhere near as crowded as French resorts. The trip over to Montgenevre was the highlight of the week.
Apres Ski: 5/5

The perfect week’s skiing -

Perfect snow in April, quiet slopes, long varied runs that challenged, but allowed some great speed... apres ski was also good - so what more to ask?
Apres Ski: 4/5
