Reviews
Recommend La Ferme du Chozal next to the ski lifts to stay in. Great resort and good for all levels of skiers. We took the kids two years ago and they loved it. The whole village feels very authentic and the locals are friendly. This if my third year renting skis at Piccard Sports through Snowbrainer. Definitely recommend their shops and definitely recommend your service
