Got to be some of the best on-piste skiing I've had in 30 years on the slopes. Don't go if it's nightlife you're looking for but if it's top notch skiing with no lift queing you're after try it out. Stayed at the Valverde with Esprit; a 1st class holiday. Only down side: having to walk between lifts at Stafal at the bottom of the valley. Skiing in France you find all the runs get moguls and carved up by lunchtime; here the pistes stay clean all day due to the sometimes spooky lack of people.
