All a bit different than Pamps, 8 man gondola accesses the ski area from the top of town, the skiing is of a bit higher level than Pamps, tougher pistes, but well linked, with the benefit of the ski-road (7km) to return to the town...
The new developments are above the old town, but its near enough to enjoy the charactor. Its as not `full-on' as Boro, but can still offer some great nightlife, and with a massive selection of mehanas, you never go without food. Tourist bars/restaurants are ...

1. can do... depends where your accomodation is. some places put on a mini bus to take you.

2. you mean to hire? in the gondola station. other companies located around the gondola.

3. you can take the 7km ski road and ski back to the top of town (where there are many bars to get that all important beer)
