A very quick roundup of some availability out there leaving just after Christmas, so get it booked quickly if you’ve suddenly realised you don’t want to spend New Years here! Snowcoach There are a few coach seats available after Christmas to France and Austria. They are open today until 4pm on 01727 866177. The best [...]
Eurostar trains are finally back on track, and boy are we pleased about it, especially given half of our team have been stranded in Paris! Today they’ll be running a restricted service from 7.30am to 6pm and they are still advising customers not to travel unless it’s essential. Their latest statement reads: ‘ONLY CUSTOMERS WHO [...]
UPDATE 21st December 2010: We’re getting a lot of hits on this post currently so to help you out here is some current information from Eurostar: Due to the continuing bad weather, speed restrictions are in place on our high speed lines, adding up to two hours to journey times. As a result we can [...]
Today it seemed warmer though the temp was -12. Unfortunately because of the closure of numerous slopes the journey to La Tania via Courchevel 1850 was on the same slopes we skied on day 4. Bruyeres lift to Col du La Chambre down the red run Lac du la Chambre to the Plan des Mains [...]
After the previous days non stop skiing and the temperature at Col du La Chambre a bone rattling -20°C we decided to start the ski day a little later than usual. The plan for the day was to meet up with our friends James and Gemma from Green Mountain Chalet for lunch in St Martin [...]
Some friends from Green Mountain Chalets said one day whilst we were in the Three Valleys, “lets go to lunch in a cow shed”. Of course that intrigued us enough to go along! La Ferme de la Choumette is on the right hand side of the blue Biolley piste, just before the tunnel, on the [...]
Courchevel sits to the left on the piste map and is made up of five key residential centres; Courchevel 1850 is the resorts heartbeat; Courchevel 1550 is a cheaper base feeding directly into 1850; and Courchevel 1650, a calmer alternative on the fringes of the three-valley network. Courchevel is the most glamorous section of Les [...]
Knowing the ski to Courchevel from Reberty was going to take some time an early start was required, so off we headed to the Bruyeres lift for opening time (well nearly!). From Col du la Chambre we skied the same route as the previous day which took us to Meribel; down Lac du la Chambre [...]
Meribel lies in the heart of the Three Valleys, with Courchevel and Val Thorens on either side and it is this central location that is it’s greatest virtue; piste hungry intermediates will be in all kinds of heaven here. From either of the two main resort bases one two stage lift will get you to [...]
We woke up again to fabulous clear blue skies which are always welcome but not the predicted drop in temperature from the previous day. Cruelly the prediction was spot on as the thermometer at the top Col de Lu Chambre was reading -14. Instead of admiring the mesmorising view we headed to towards Meribel via [...]
