The weather has been very cold in the past two weeks which has kept the ground cold. We have had quite a bit of fresh snow and Villaroger opened this week.

We have been busy during the last couple of weeks, and Xmas week has been really enjoyable and even busier. The dinner went down really well and Andy was chief carver of the turkey.

My dad came out for Xmas and we went to Villaroger for a ski yesterday and a drink at La Ferme. We skied powder as the runs were covered in fresh snow and the girls were wearing their new outfits from the Ski Club. The best snow has definitely been in Les Arcs over Xmas , or Val and Tignes.

We went to Villaroger square for the live nativity and Santa's visit. It felt really christmassy and the children loved it.

Jonny has just returned from a good boxing day ski in Les Arcs. The pistes were empty and in good condition.

The stag came into our garden today , and we fed him some bread. He was so close as you can see.

Here are some photos from the week. 

  

  

   

The season has started and we had guests out this last weekend. Here is a video taken this weekend of the boys staying with us, as you can see conditions are good, Tarenataise Valley has some of the best snow in the Alps at this moment in time. Click here to see the video. 

Last minute bookings for Jan 10th -21st only £55 pp pn fully catered including all drinks.

Les Arcs opened yesterday so we went skiing for the day. The weather was beautiful in the morning, clouding in a bit in the afternoon. It was really only 3 lifts in Arc 2000 that were open, with the TransArc fom Arc 1800 bringing people up to ski. Everything will be open from the 12th Dec 2009.

The pistes were not busy, no queues on the lifts, and good snow conditions - Millionaires skiing actually. Snow coverage is good and the resort is looking good. We took the girls and my mum's partner Tony. Afterwards we went to the bar to watch Andy and Ritchie play in their band.

The chalet is almost ready apart from the final clean down, to take our first guests on the 12th Dec. Im planning the menu as we speak, lots of new dshes, and the outside terrace is now ready. The wine has been delivered and Reah arrives Tuesday this week.

We still have availability , last min deals on 10th Jan onwards. Please give us a call to discuss. Long weeeknd, short break, 10 days!!!!!

Here are a couple of photos from yesterday's ski in Les Arcs, as you can see there was not a lot of people there so we had the pistes to ourselves some of the time.
