Excellent slopes, high altitude. Efficient transport from town centre. Icy at times, but wide enough. Not for beginners.

Couldn’t recommend this place more for off piste and powder. Lift access to seemingly unlimited untouched powder.
The mountain only opens when there is snow however.

I was blown away with the sheer beauty of driving up to the mountain to the resort. The rental staff were great, the gondolas providing majestic views from all sides and elevations, the restaurant staff kind and lively and most of all, the fantastic runs from the peak down. Would come back to this resort in a heartbeat another season!
