Simply the best extreme skiing in Europe. The heli-skiing and ski touring is amazing... and it's just you. Untracked powder lasts for days. Never had a queue, but the lifts are rubbish so trek up. Kurhaus hotel is a lovely olde worlde ski-in/out watering hole with awe inspiring views. Austere, extreme, unforgettable.
