Courchevel 1650

Our flight to the Alps departed at the hour of 7:10, which meant staying at a Gatwick hotel the night before, and getting up at 4:30am. The upside of this early start was that we got to the resort by 12:30 and were able to fit in a half day’s skiing, which is an unexpected bonus.

The weather has been good so far, with some light snow on Sunday night, resulting in perfect pistes the following day and skiing in the sunshine. This is the first time I have travelled with Le Ski, but they obviously do something right as all the other guests in our chalet are repeat customers. I can see why, as their chalet hosts are very welcoming and produce some excellent meals, and our ski guide is also very pleasant and competent.

So far not much night life as we are too tired to stay up late.
