–
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
