The blue runs were nice and varied, some harder than others. Beginners able to ski to igloo bar, who do a wonderful cheese n ham toastie. Plenty going on at apres ski, also a bowling alley and swimming pool. Great place for anyone any age.





There are smaller villages on the Swiss side, and st Jean on the French side was are only accessible by bus, but this means that if you want to stay in other towns in the ports du soleil you can probably a save a bit of money of accommodation and still have access to the full area.
Would definitely recommend for families, and those looking to clock of the miles!













The runs are unbelievable, the views are unbelievable, the vibe is unbelievable. I couldn't quite believe it...
The swiss wall was sick, snow parks were really cool, lifts weren't too busy as there's loads of options and they're all good quality.
I would definitely go again and feel confident my fiance would be happy being a less advanced skier as the options are varied enough and the blue runs are fun enough for experts.
