We went late March, which is always risky in terms of weather and conditions. It was warm and slushy, I'd recommend nothing later than mid March.

This was a 4 day trip, we left Luton at 6am Sunday (cheap flight, half empty) and because of the short transfer, we were on the first gondola at 11.30am. That's the key attraction here, the short transfer from Geneva.

Given the snow conditions, it's difficult to be fully objective, but a few things stand out. The lift system is generally old and slow, particularly the long and very slow chair at Baime, which does detract from the attraction of that area. Baime is the highest part of the resort and you can ski all the way from the top to the bottom (red and blue). None of the blacks are that steep and seem to be black because they are infrequently groomed.

The piste bashers are quite small and narrow, judging from the 'tramlines' that they leave behind, which can make the pistes a bit rutted and uneven in places.

Stayed at the Hotel Prestige Odalys, modern, good location. excellent pizzas at the tiny Pizza Minut right by the church.

Conclusion: a decent place for a 3/4 day weekend trip, but best to go before mid March.
