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.

Great for off piste, good terrain and not many other people riding back country, so fresh lines many days after a snowfall.
The park is non-existent.
Good piste runs.

Small resort but great for beginners and families. Lifts are very quick and easy to get to, right in the centre of the accommodations. Not too crowded. ESF school are great. Small but well stocked supermarket in centre. Good food and drink options. Lots of other activities to do for non-skiers too. Medical centre but no pharmacy, so bring what you need with you. (Although the Medical centre does dispense after consultation)

I had an amazing ski holiday from start to finish. The resort was well organised, with excellent ski conditions and a great variety of runs for different skill levels. The lifts were efficient, so there was very little waiting time, which meant more time on the slopes.
The accommodation was comfortable, warm, and ideally located close to the lifts. After a full day of skiing, there was plenty to enjoy in the village, with great restaurants and a lively but relaxed atmosphere.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip with stunning scenery, great skiing, and a really enjoyable atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this resort and would love to return in the future.
