We normally ski Auron but after a bad year of snow, we thought we'd brave the Congrete of Isola & have been pleasantly surprised. Yes, the resort is awful & nothing like the village charm of Auron, and the ski domain feels slightly smaller, but the snow is way better given the extra height. The selection of restaurants is not as good (we had a dreadful meal at Le Refuge - no toilets, very poor food, no tap water & ridiculously expensive!) but our other meals at Marmotte, Raclette & Chalet Belvedere were great, phew! Praise too for our hotel Le Druos. Friendly, clean, simple & truly ski in/ out. Beds v hard but that's our only complaint. We'll be back, sorry Auron!
