Known as “the largest alpine shopping facility in the world”, with a mix of cosmopolitan boutiques, gastronomic restaurants and health clubs, the resort’s proud heritage spreads back for 100 years. Fashion, style and class are high on the agenda as the famous names such as Cartier, Louis Vuitton and Hermes attest to. International clientele can be found soaking up the sun in the many bars, cafés and restaurants.

On the mountain, the ski area offers 140km of pistes, which are ideally suited to intermediates. For absolute beginners, who can enjoy lessons on the town’s snow covered golf course, this is a superb resort, whilst for advanced skiers, the World Cup pistes are challenging and the off-piste skiing extensive.

The large varied piste area is spread over a wide mountainside with lift access up from four valley bases. The rewarding blend of tree-lined runs and wide-open pistes will reward you without too many challenges.

The lift network is excellent with high-speed chair and bubble lifts connecting the ski domain. The 12km slope that starts with stunning views from the Plaine Morte glacier at 2925m and ends amongst pretty woods at Les Barzettes is a must do. With 23 mountain restaurants and huts to sample this is a resort that knows how to mix skiing with total indulgence.
