Over the years I have skied in many different countries, 10 so far and still counting. I can honestly say, if you want quite slopes, very few lift queues and plenty of vertical, then this is a great place to go. If you want the steep and deep I can think of better places, but for a family holiday without the stresses of trying to keep everyone happy this is in my view, as good as it gets.

Beware very cold January and February, although we have had -36c in March.

This year we went at Christmas and are going again over Easter (last two weeks of April) and can be certain of snow, even that late in the season.
