Summary

Snow sure, true boarders' moonscape Great all-round resort with something for everyone, no matter what your ability. However, watch out some for long lift queues and crowds during school holidays and weekends.

ON THE SLOPES: Fantastic
OFF THE SLOPES: Very good
MONEY WISE: This is an expensive resort in all aspects but not as bad as some of the unfriendly French resorts. Well worth the cash.
