Sunday is a perfect day for.............

Here at Chalet Vache Bleue we operate a Sunday changeover day as opposed to the usual Saturday. We are often asked why as Saturday has been the traditional  day to arrive and depart from ski resorts for as long as most people can remember. Last Saturday we were reminded why as we crawled along a motorway with heavy traffic in both directions, we are not alone in operating a Sunday changeover but traffic to and from Ski resorts is much reduced on a Sunday. Apart from the traffic there is another reason to arrive and depart on a Sunday and that is that you have the pleasure of skiing on a Saturday which is the quietest day on the mountain, the pictures below were taken on a Saturday morning in the middle of the busy school holiday period, hardly a person in sight.

We have now reached the final week of the school holidays, the resort has become much quieter as a result and as a bonus we have a layer of fresh snow which has made the conditions perfect again. Today has dawned sunny and there is a promise of another snowfall towards the end of this week, it really doesn't get much better.
