What’s it like?
Good points:
Virtually always has best snow conditions in The Milky Way because it is high
Often not crowded when nearby resorts are
Lots of red runs
Great opportunity to explore The Milky Way if you fancy a change and have a car

Bad points:
Resort runs right alongside the busy main road from Turin to Briancon
Little for the expert off-piste people
A little soulless
It does often have a lot of snow, there is a lovely old village tucked away off the main road, and you can easily experience a bit of Italian snowsport for a refreshing change.
It can’t be that bad anyway as the 2006 Winter Olympics are going to be held here!
