Food Scene
Simple, no frills place that is serious about good coffee. Owned by a super nice couple who roast their beans in a mazot in the valley. Can't go wrong with any of their coffees.

Entertainment & Activities
Climbing wall that is right in town. Lots of routes for different levels and some multi-pitches that are a bit hidden in the trees on the left side. Need to come with your own gear.
There is also an 'accropark' (6 courses and more than 70 treetop elements and obstacles for the youngest to the most active: giant zipline, wobbly bridges, tarzan swings, quick jump...).
Also a nice buvette for drinks.

"CONCEPT SPORTS" - Love this ski shop (doesn't hurt that they have locally brewed beer on tap in case you want to have a drink while you get kitted out). Its my go-to spot when I need to tune my skis or take a visitor to get rental gear (anything from piste skis to backcountry set up).
