Summary
Excellent snowsure resort with a good long season. The slopes are great for freestylers and freeriders alike, as well as suiting beginners. The resort can be slack at opening lifts and the off-piste gets tracked out within hours of a dump.

ON THE SLOPES: Fantastic
OFF THE SLOPES: Okay but not rocking
MONEY WISE: Fairly expensive place, but cheaper than many swiss resorts
