Only from what I have researched and people I know who have been. Its reasonably limited compared to places I want to go, but has superb snow record. Its also very fur coat and versace, not my kind of place to be honest. I understand it gains painfully busy at weekends, and that the pistes are easy. AND its quite expensive to stay there compared to what I tend to look for. Its not in my list for a several reasons. However it does have stunning scenery and views of Mont Blanc/Monte Bianco.
,

i had heard the same, it does seem very expensive the kids are paying 695 for 6-13th feb which is return coach travel, equipment hire and lift passes, if we dont get enough kids to go then they have to pay for their own helmet hire and tuition as well, and half board staying in a hotel out of town so bus's back and forward every day to ski, i dont know it seems a bit high.

in the current economic climate i thought it was a bit steep.

in hopfgarten at xmas we were told straight away in our ski skoolclass. never stop in themiddle of the piste, always try and look up the slope to see if anyone else is coming down before you start and when getting off the lifts always move well over to the side if you arent moving straight off, and if you have stop half way down the piste make sure you stop well out of the way,

N our instructor never mentioned it once, but i just did it anyway as you say its plain simple manners
