In good weather, the slopes tend to remain quiet but it is worth noting that snow cover on the lower runs is not always reliable. Although staying in the hamlets of the village is possible all-year-round, there isn’t much to do here outside of the ski season so we definitely recommend a visit when it is in full flow.
