My kids just love this place (10 and 11). We have skied the Capcir region twice a year for the last 5 years and will be there again this half-term. Whilst it may not be the most challeging area there is more than enough to keep the novice progressing up to some challenging Reds. When the sun shines (many slopes face southeast) this small area can get quite sugary late in the afternoon and bare patches come through quickly (it's not quite as snowsure as the 3 Valleys) .........but if you ski the top runs it can still be quite lovely.
