–
With most of
the slopes below 2000m there's a risk of poor snow, especially on
runs to the village - although the grassy terrain does not need
a thick covering and snowmaking has improved a lot
–
Three separate mountains, two linked by lift but not by slope and
the third not linked at all
–
Not many challenging slopes
–
the few blacks are not extreme - but good off-slope potential
–
Traffic jams and exhaust fumes at weekends and peak season |
