It is a wonderful place but the problem is nobody speaks English. There is also a tourist information center where you only have French language, it is really strange. So if you do not speak French it is really hard to understand and to order anything. So that is a big minus. It is better to go to Les 2 Alps or Alps de Huez. I think French people are worse than the Italians in speaking foreign languages.
