We are half way through the Season and what a snow season we have had. It just keeps on coming. We have snow so light and so much of it everyone has been saying its like skiing in Canada ! Best conditions in 70 years apparantly. Powder days have been the norm every week and our guests have been hiring a guide to ski off piste as the snow is that phnomenal.  Amazing is the only word for it. We have had some great guests in , a lot of returners which we love as well as new ones. Anneha went to Manchester last weekend as she had got down to the last 24 children out of 1700 for a TV programme in the UK. Was great to catch up with family , however she was not picked to be in the last 6 so she was disappointed. A great experience though and one she will remember for a long time. Fi’s knee is improving and hopefully she will be back on her skis in another weeks time. Think she is ready for it. Jonny goes for his final Winter examination in March to become a qualifed IML. We are keeping everything crossed that it goes well and 5 years after starting he will have the qualification he’s been working so hard to get. The girls break up in 2 weeks for their Half Term. They are looking forward to that. We still have availability throughtout the season so please get in touch. Have a look at www.walkthealps.com for Summer and a guided walking holiday here in the beautiful Vanoise National Park. Same format as a ski holiday except you go walking for the day. Here is a video (Click here ) taken the other week by one of our guests as well as some photos below.                    

Conditions are brilliant at the moment as we are having regular top ups of snow. Temperatures are cold so the snow is keeping well. January has been busy and its nice to have family in at the moment. It was my birthday this week and we had a good day skiing in Villaroger , long lunch and then a helicopter ride home with friends wling hich was a fab experience. Thanks to everyone. We are skiing all over, Les Arcs and Sainte Foy have been sheltered from the winds. La Rosiere had great snow last week and we still got some fresh tracks just off the side of the pistes at 4pm. Seen lots of old faces back again this year , thankyou to everyone for your continued support. Our new Summer venture is up and running. Cycling holidays here from the chalet, same concept as skiing , just cycling instead. Aiming at keen cyclists who want to experience riding the famous Cols featured in the Tour de France or people wanting a high altitude training base for a competion or Etape. We also want to encourage families to come and maybe have a more leisurely ride or activities holiday. Please have a look at our link below for all the details. Cycling Holidays. Fifi has pulled her Interior ligaments in her knee so is out of action for at least 4 weeks. She was skiing so well and enjoying it too. Anneha is skiing on some new powder skis and loving them. Can’t keep up with her anymore. We still  have availability throughout the season and anyone fancing coming out in the Summer please give us a call/mail.
