What visitors say about the resort

Ancelle is praised as a resort for children and beginners: the difficulty of the runs suits them, there are plenty of gentle trails through the woods, plus sledging slopes, a snowpark and a snow garden. Reviewers highlight the extensive snowmaking that keeps the place skiable in lean winters, the visible effort put into grooming, and the friendly village-resort feel. Instructors get good marks for covering every level.

Slow lifts are the complaint that comes up first, in almost every review. The runs are short and not especially wide, which becomes tiresome once the February holiday crowds arrive. The modest altitude holds snow poorly, so without the guns the season would be patchy. Visitors also note the lift pass has risen noticeably in price without the services following suit.
