Open air concerts: The resort has a well earned reputation for hosting the stars, with high profile, open air concerts throughout the season. Last season opened with the Pussycat Dolls, and the Scissor Sisters led the Easter Concert performing at the top of the mountain on a stage at 2300m, in April. Elton John, Pink and Bon Jovi have also performed in recent years.
