This is a wholly family friendly resort, accommodation great but can be expensive for example of a family of 5. Food great but again can be expensive for some family. Skiing accommodates all abilities.

Friendly staff and lots of different runs, the lifts and buildings are dated and food is pricy for the quality. The rental equipment is great though, newer and good quality, and the school staff are lovely. Reasonable pricing for passes, with mid week and package deals.

My experience at the resort was 10/10 ski in ski out chalets, very fun environment, I’ve always wanted to spend a New Year’s Eve there (I heard it’s really fun) a lot of the chalets have hot tubs/saunas. The ski school was amazing, the food at the restaurants were great. And how could you not be happy on a mountain?!
