It only requires a few minutes' drive to get to either village and the ski lifts. The hamlet has many authentic farm buildings and a lovely little fountain which is always a cause for walkers to stop and admire, and for some to refill bottles. The distant church bells of St Nicholas can be heard and cows are often put out to pasture in the surrounding fields.
