1999 was the last time we visited Sauze d’Oulx on the Italian side of the Alps. That year we had super-sunny weather. Sauze is, as-the-crow-flies, maybe only 80km from Tignes/Val d’Isere on the French side of the Alps, but the conditions couldn’t have been more different than it was there, or how we found it …
The idea of going to Arctic Norway for some ski tour adventures has been on the agenda for a long time, but it has never crystallised in to a real plan … until now!
We took the unusual decision to ski during half term this year, but it was worth it to be able to spend the week with Saskia and Nick. Tignes is a great destination, with plenty to do at all levels. Tons of pistes, tons of non-groomed slopes and a good number of lift assisted off-piste …
We’re just back from a short break in Chamonix. The weather was excellent, and the skiing was fun. What more could one ask for to brighten up one’s spirits after weeks of grey British winter weather?
Before the weather warms up (and rains) on Monday, Laetitia and I grabbed one more ski adventure on our local hills…
Who’d have thought skiing in England could be worthwhile?
Our customary trip skiing with the Muppets this year was based in the Three Valleys, that largest ski area in the world! We’ve been to the Three Valleys before, back in 2019. But then we were based in the sleepy La Tania. Being a bit sleepy, La Tania was a cheaper option in days-gone-by. Now-a-days …
After the poor snow conditions at New Year we were concerned what might await us in Avoriaz for our ski trip with the Muppets… We needn’t have worried so much … loads of snow fell in January, and a week of consistently low temperature (approx -10C throughout the day) ensured our week based in the …
After the Black Forest we swung by Chamonix hoping for a little more snow. Alas, while there was more snow thanks to the higher altitude it wasn’t that great. Especially considering the €54 each lift pass pricing. You might have thought that with such poor conditions they’d have had an offer on?
