Getting around the Village?
The village itself can pose a challenge at times. Roads become very icy and people slip over and hurt themselves just walking down the street. Steps become treacherous and huge slabs of snow fall off buildings with regularity. There is almost nothing that can be done to avoid this – it is a fact of life in an alpine environment. Even if you have shoes with good traction, walk slowly and use caution at all times. Walk on the footpath, not the road. Roads are more slippery and they are for cars. Avoid standing under the eaves of buildings, large slabs of snow have been known to maim or injure. Take care when walking up or down steps especially when wearing ski or snowboard boots.
