There are restaurants dotted all over the resort and it is very beginner-friendly with mostly blue and red runs. It is also linked to the Sellaronda, which takes you around 2-3 mountains through different resorts over the course of about half a day.
For the more advanced skiers, there are several black runs available, including the World Cup Gran Risa piste and a tricky glacier nearby.
The lifts and slopes were also very well operated and, even on busy days like Christmas, the queue time was relatively short. The local instructors are also fantastic, many having been former racers with plenty of experience.
Overall, a gem of a resort.
