Brits Abroad
Take a group of Brits, add one Australian and a bit of sunshine and what do you get? That’s right – a barbecue in the middle of a frozen lake. Seems like a bit of a silly idea doesn’t it? But by golly did it work out. It is always nice to do something a...
Hidden Gems
Being one of the largest ski areas in the French Alps, the Espace Killy has a huge variety of skiing on offer. The fact that it is possible to ski at heights ranging from 1550m to 3556m means that there is every kind of slope to ski on, from the wide glacier runs at the...

apres ski, in a big way..the only way.

Transfer day
Who doesn’t love transfer day? I mean, what isn’t to like about getting up at 3.30am and wading through a blizzard on the way to a chalet where the only things to be found are tired guests and an endless list of tasks to be done? It’s not that bad though, because if you work...
Management Training commences in the alps!
After a long trip out to the alps, we arrived in a slightly white Les Gets for staff training. Everyone was feeling pretty tired from the journey so Saturday was short and sweet; welcome…eat…sleep!
