I had family that lived in the valley opposite this resort so my kids learned to ski here! Its not a big resort but for beginners its fine and does have a bit of everything. The chairs and pommas are a bit dated but it kind of adds to the feel of the resort. Theres tree runs including some fun off piste through open trees at the top of Bellevaux.
It would be risky to book a week as it is low so not snow sure, and for good skiers a couple of days would be enough then youd be bored, but if like us you have family nearby, have kids or beginners, or you have a day or two free. then its worth skiing. Mid week the pistes are empty.
When there was snow we would ski a different small resort within 40 mins drive each day. Which can be fun and lift passes are much cheaper. (Otherwise when there was no snow wed drive up to the Grand Massif.)
