Amazing destination for ski. Great snow, lifts equipments and trails are top. The hotels and resorts are 5+ stars but you can also find fair priced hotels to stay. All the ski equipments stores that you can need to have the latest fashion and tech stuff. Prices are high but the quality of the restaurants, hotels, town area and of... More

Drop dead gorgeous scenery and charming exteriors, but yikes. I prefer to hang out where I don't feel I'm being looked down on because I'm wearing the wrong shoes. Surprised to see that others had a hospitable experience, but glad others did.

Standard shops you would expect in a ski village. Repetitive t-shirt shops... Some really cool boutique shops like glass and hand made knick knacks. Good... More

no picture can ever do it justice. The scale is what takes you over. You feel just enveloped by the natural beauty and magnitude.

One of the best valley villages I have seen. Great achitecture, free public transportation, nice shops. Hey, there are even heated sidewalks and pedestrian plazas.
