On our recent #twiskitrip to the Three Valleys (more about that here) we had the pleasure to stay at one of the Ski Famille chalets in Reberty, Les Menuires. Les Menuires is a new resort this season for Ski Famille who have operated solely in Les Gets since 1990. They now have three chalets located [...]
For many skiers, from intermediate to expert level, the traditional ski school experience can only take them so far and eventually they hit a learning wall or ‘plateau’. When this happens, the standard teaching style is no longer effective and will not help the skier progress.

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 [...]
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 Trois [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
