The resort was originally built for the 1992 Winter Olympic games and has rapidly developed its own identity within the 3 Valleys. It's often called a small friendly family resort but there's also a lot more to it than that. It has the full range of amenities, shops, several restaurants and Le Pub Ski Lodge can make for a very entertaining night out.

The town centre is traffic free which is great, especially for children. There are 4 ski hire shops, a tourist office, post office, bakery, tabac, newsagent, cash machine, supermarket and 4 bar restaurants. There is also a lift pass office, ski instruction companies and creches based in the resort. 

There is a useful free bus service to Le Praz, Corchevel 1550, 1650 and finally 1850.
