The town is surrounded by numerous world-class ski resorts that cater to everyone from first-time skiers to seasoned powder hounds. Thanks to heavy seasonal snowfall, slopes often stay open from mid-November well into late May. After an exhilarating day on the mountain, visitors can unwind in the town's traditional hot spring baths and savor regional delicacies.
