Review Detail
The town is based in a horseshoe around the valley and comprises serveral bars, snowboard shops, garage and a large COOP. Spares are easy to get hold of as I found out when I broke a toestrap and had to drop down to town.

The resort itself is a long way up from the town via bubble to the Plaun station, only 500m higher. The bubble can be busy at the wrong times, so make sure you get there early.

The runs themselves are great in good conditions and absolutely amazing after a decent dump. they are long enough to get a good run before having to catch another lift. Serveral areas are marked, but unpisted. I'm not sure how that goes in terms of on of off piste but it certainly made the area interesting in terms of variety.

Only one pair of drag lifts up the Vorab, which has a freestyle park early season.
Strengths
Something for everyone ranging from motorway carving runs through to serious free ride off piste from Cassons if the fresh snow is right.
Village has got good services.
Bus service frequent and reliable - every 1/2 hour in each direction to Falera/Laax/Fiduz
Nice bar just off piste in town at the Arena lift for an apres pint.
Hot Spots
For off piste : Cassons and La Siala
Weaknesses
Pinch point at the La Siala lift - 3 man chair
Area lift long and in 3 stages before you get to Nagens
Lifts can get closed without warning in windy conditions closing off large areas of the resort
Home run can be hard work in heavy conditions
