Claudia Cuminetti

Connected to the Milky Way but outside the Italian border, it offers skiing on four sides, with diverse slopes, views, and lifts, well-connected with sometimes even fun sections. Snowboarding and skiing must coexist, sometimes with extensive runs, sometimes a little more risky. The French are wild and carnival-like, many Italians, and fewer foreigners. The refreshment and relaxation areas are good for all ages. It's pointless to talk about costs; those who go skiing aren't poor, and Mongi isn't among the most expensive for what it offers. Worth a try!
