Beginners and intermediates are particularly well suited. Many nursery slopes are at altitude, giving beginners good snow conditions. Wide, gentle blues and well-designed lift system help keen learners progress smoothly. Experts are not spoilt for choice but there's some terrific off piste and 3 blacks, one of which covers virtually the whole mountain, top to bottom.
