Beautiful wide pistes with variety. Some lower runs got a little slushy as the day went on but staying high was amazing! Really great apres ski and not too expensive drinks for Switzerland! Lots of fun!

Tried snowboarding there and had a great time. Stayed in a chalet nearby. Lifts were great. Ski school helped progress quickly. Was very hot in afternoons though

Great resort with plenty of options for continuous and varied skiing. Get up to the top of the glacier at Plain Morte for some unreal views and well maintained pistes back down the mountain. Apres at Cry Der and Zero Dix is often good, and there are plenty of places to eat on the slopes. Weve been visiting as a group for years and found it to be a good balance of perhaps less busy slopes and just enough Apres to keep us coming back.
