The resort is a quaint little spot that has nice chilled runs but also the opportunity to progress your skills, with good lifts and lots of amenities close by. The pubs are good and the food is top notch. The instructors are very good, knowledgeable and patient. It's a bit of a long transfer by coach, but the views and rustic aesthetic are definitely worth it.Would definitely recommend.

Really quiet town with super easy access to the slopes and everything you need. Lots of options for all inclusive hotels and self catering. Plenty of shops to buy things for self catering. A few shops to buy skiing/snowboarding items from if you forget or want to buy some extra layers. Gorgeous sunrise and sunsets every day and beautiful views over the frozen lake from most hotels and the slopes.
Only downside is the slopes are only open from 10am-3/4pm but are open 2 times a week for late night skiing/snowboarding.
Really good for families as there are some quite slopes for practicing as well as lots of green/blue/reds all mixed together for different abilities. Black runs are on the opposite side of the lake that a free shuttle bus can take you to so you cant accidentally end up on a scary slope.
Nice restaurant half way up the slope for snacks/drinks while youre out on the slopes and plenty of restaurants and bars opens till late providing entertainment.
Lots of extra activities to do apart from skiing; horse riding, dog sledging, ice fishing, swimming pool and spa. Overall really nice peaceful resort with plenty to do for all levels
