This is really a collection of small local resorts just south of Verbier. These resorts typically each have 3 or 4 slow old lifts, 10 or so groomed runs, mostly red or blue, but massive amount of piste. You are unlikely to see many people there. Best to have a car to get around to and between these resorts.

There are no mountain side restaurants, just some snack shacks here and there.

Altogether a different experience from the mega resorts, but I liked it a lot, just for a change.
