Summary

Freerider's dream: lots of perfect and unexplored off-piste terrain. The only letdown is the long lift queues and badly maintained runs, but you won't notice if there's lots of snow.

ON THE SLOPES: Perfect, except the queues.
OFF THE SLOPES: Hospitable southern village.
MONEY WISE: Cheap or expensive - however you want it
