Skiing and Snowboarding

Nine resorts spread out through the valley ensure you are spoilt for choice on any given day, with each mountain having it's fair share of beginner, intermediate and expert terrain.  That being said, each resort has it's own personality and we encourage you to check out at least a few over the course of your stay.  Happo-one is, of course, five minutes walk from our doorstep, but all the other hills are easily reachable by shuttle bus service.  See you on the hill!
