Easily two to three hours to get up from the valley. And once you are there, the slopes are so overcrowded that it's the most dangerous resort I've ever visited. Food is expensive, and poor quality, and the main area is very noisy. If you book hotel, make sure not to be in the bottom of the valley, as all the smoke from the heating ends up there usually. Forget fresh mountain air. Sorry, but this whole place is a ripoff.
