Good returns, as everywhere in France, but the price is enormous.

Warning ⚠️ The runs are indeed not free, and they only tell you this upon arrival! And of course, the prices aren't the same as those listed! That would be too easy 😅 The staff remains, of course, very aggressive and not very attentive… insults fly thick and fast! In short, what a fun and friendly experience 😁

Very convenient for starting a hike towards the Trient Glacier. However, could preferential rates be offered to French or European citizens? This is common practice in other countries...
