Good for beginners or park riders. It was COLD when I went there in January. Would recommend to beginners looking to improve on quiet slopes. The night skiing and light show was a nice addition to the week.

Lovely quiet and calm resort. Beautiful cabins with private sauna. Quite a long walk back from slopes but across cross country runs so fairly easy or take the bus

Lovely place for families and non skiers presents great value for money but if you are an experienced skier it can get a bit boring as slopes are few and short. That said I would recommend it for nature and views.
