This natural powder reserve at the heart of the Alps offers skiers pristine surroundings, mountain lifts that are hidden amid the snow-covered forest, runs that wind their way through snow meadows and quaint mountain chalets. The ski area enjoys exceptionally good snowfall from mid-November to the end of April, with an average of 25.69 ft of powder every year.
