No one seems to have heard of it and we're off there for half term, just wanted some advice re the resort and kids club, powder Byrne staff etc Also any recommendations regarding good quality ski gear for ds (8) and dd (3) would be very welcome too. first time skiing as a family!

Quite a compact resort with good intermediate/beginner skiing, pretty and snowsure. I think (and may yet be wrong) that you need to take a lift or bus to access the main slopes. Not sure they cater for 3yo in skischool. The road up is very bendy and takes a while form valley level at Chur - have a sickbag handy! For skiwear try decathlon , Dare2Be , Trespass, and have a look in TK Maxx for bargains.

Thanks for the info Lizs. The reason we chose the resort and hotel is that it has a specific ski school/ crèche for 3-4 year olds and it's apparently an hour away by train from airport and the hotel is ski in ski out ( so lazy!) I'll double check about bus ride though!! And thanks for skiwear info too :)

Not sure about an hour from airport , I'd say at least 2 tbh.
