With ski school located at the top of the gondola, beginners can enjoy impressive views from day one.

Set at the top of the Aosta Valley, the compact town has a car-free, cobbled centre filled with shops and cafés. Après-ski is more relaxed and refined, with sunny terraces overlooking the slopes or livelier bars for those heading out later.
