Great resort, not very busy and plenty of runs to do, even when high season wait for busiest lift is five minutes. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and accommodation

Snow wasn’t quite the best when we arrived, after a day or two it dumped a nice load of fresh powder and away we went. Some nice runs and good weather. Managed to ski right up to the accommodation as well which was awesome.

Decent resort with a fine mix of slopes, but the maintenance is average and not always consistent everywhere. Some lifts are older, and newer ones feel more basic than modern with no seat heatingor covers. But there are plenty of interesting runs, good food options, and nice choice of accommodation.
At the end it is fine ratio of value for the money.

Snow at the start of the trip wasn’t the best, after a couple days it dumped snow and it was a pleasure to ski there.
