Stayed here twice in Feb once with friends and then with family.
Stayed in the village which is a beautiful French village full of charm, coffee shops and croissants! There was an amazing burger shop which served delicious cheap wine and an extensive burger menu.
As we were in the village we had to make use of the buses to the lifts, but it was incredibly straightforward and never really encountered much of a queue at the base lifts - even in school holiday.
The slopes were well looked after and lots of options for all abilities.
Overall a great resort with short transfer times and I would visit again

Love the restaurants and bars, I haven’t been in the winter but have been several times in the summer and it’s great.

A charming mountain town with great access to a huge ski area. A really good option if you’d like to experience stay somewhere a little less hectic but still has great lift connections.
