Reviews

Pierre Chauchoy

A fairly friendly, small, and welcoming resort. But in my opinion, not very suitable for beginners (only blue runs around, and the green run is very short and uninteresting). It takes a long time to reach the top of the slopes at around 280 meters (I'd say about 25-30 minutes by chairlift alone). On the other hand, the scenery is beautiful. However, the snow this season (2023-2024) was practically nonexistent at the bottom of the slopes, and very icy. A nice resort if you're an intermediate skier and want to avoid the glitz and glamour, as it's quiet and friendly.
