The praise is for the sunny side of the Alps and the compact scale: the area is called small but genuinely good, with a decent balance of easy, intermediate and steep runs - enough for a weekend from Ticino. There is more infrastructure than the size suggests: a ski school, children's area, toboggan run and snowpark. The mid-station restaurant with its panoramic terrace gets warm mentions.

The access road draws complaints: the climb is a long series of bends many find tiring. There are not many pistes, and a single day covers the area. Extra charges irritate people: paid parking plus a non-refundable deposit on the pass card for each person, with reviews saying outright that next time they will go elsewhere. Bars and restaurants are not always open. Mild, snowless winters have hit the area hard, and the future of the lifts is openly discussed while operators seek private investors.
