Une des meilleures stations de ski dans les Alpes. L’accès est facile, mais beaucoup de monde donc parfois difficile de se garer… La montagne étant haute une fois montée au sommet l’on peut profiter du longue descentes, on n’a pas l’impression de tout le temps être dans une remonté mécanique. Le restaurant d’altitudes est incroyable et la vue de ce point l’est tout autant !
