A sprawling, busy resort with few queues, good mountain restaurants and lovely cruisy runs set against beautiful views South across the Rhone Valley. Needs good snow conditions though, so probably best for January through to February half-term when higher, north-facing resorts can be grim. By road it’s pretty easy to get to, but by public transport you need to transfer from Sierre’s main station to another funicular station then take a bus and make a short walk.
