"This is straight from the village website and as a text, it lays it on a bit thick as you would expect. But the fact is, it is a really nice little village, charming people, proper French food and we have been coming here every year for as long as I can think. Can’t think of a better place for a winter or summer family mountain holiday. We are happy to provide recommendations regarding ski rental, restaurants and such, but it’ll be difficult to find any bad providers, so you can safely make your own choice via the website or google. The only advice worth taking is to book ski school in advance. Happy reading ! "- Tobias
