The skiing
The skiing is a genuine top to bottom experience, with long descents and a good spread of intermediate terrain. The nearby Stelvio pass adds summer glacier options too.
The village and the evenings
The medieval old town is a delight to explore, and the thermal spas are the perfect antidote to a long day on the hill. It feels like a real place, not just a resort.
