What a hidden gem - certainly recommend. For beginners and more advanced skiers. Lovely views over Mont Blanc. This is a high resort with good reliable snow cover; almost unknown to the Brits who head to Chamonix, yet the snow conditions can be better and it is invariably quieter. Did Chamonix the following day and noticed the lift card prices were higher as well.
