What visitors say about the resort
The praise is for the genuine Queyras feel: reviewers describe a working village rather than a resort, wild skiing among the larches and through the woods, and consistently dry snow. Visitors say the pistes are groomed remarkably well even in lean spells, that there are few people about and that lift queues are rare. The place is repeatedly recommended to families and beginners as a calm, honest alternative in the valley.
The size of the area draws criticism: a confident skier covers it in a day, and the lift network is down to one chairlift plus a drag lift. The pass causes most complaints - people find the price out of proportion to the infrastructure, and the absence of a proper half-day ticket annoys families where not everyone skis. Reviewers also mention the thin choice of cafes and shops, and note that the slopes often shut earlier in March than the advertised season end.
