Ski Resort
The ski resort sits high above the village at 1550m above sea level. There is a free shuttle bus during the summer and winter tourist seasons. The resort is based around an old farming hamlet, some of which survives as chalet accommodation. Most of the village has been built relatively recently, but in a sympathetic style using wood and stone. There is a wide choice of luxury apartments and chalets. There are two spas in the resort, both with swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas etc. as well as a range of massage and beauty treatments. There are also 5 ski shops, 2 bars, 3 restaurants and a small supermarket.

Famous quotes containing the words ski and/or resort:
“The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You don’t have to see where you’re going, as long as you go. In skiing, you ski with your legs and not with your eyes. In life, you experience things with your mind and your body. And if you’re lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
—Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
“I trust the time is nigh when, with the universal assent of civilized people, all international differences shall be determined without resort to arms by the benignant processes of civilization.”
—Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
