Reviews

A traditional and functional alpine village, the real deal that happens to also be a resort. Fantastic place for kids to learn and off peak can be very quite great to find your legs. It's not got 100 of KM of slopes it's a local resort in a beautiful little village and we love it as a family. It's low down in the valley so can suffer from a lack of snow bit the local team do an incredible job using what is a avaliable. If you want acres of piste and to party all night slide on up to the main resort in Chatel, if you want a charming great value village give Abondance a go.
