The resort is generally quiet and uncrowded, except during the first week of January when half of Turin heads off to the resort. The majority of the runs are best suited for intermediates, with a few good runs for beginners.
Experts have a few good off-pistes to choose from, but some travelling is required to get to the really good stuff.
