- Serre Chevalier Snowcam
Here is a short video showing the snowfall that began last night. This came as quite a shock to us all.
Foolishly just after making this video, I dug my car out and then got it stuck 3 times!
The Col du Lautaret is shut today by the way, so watch out for this if [...]

- Villeneuve or Chantemerle - Where to stay?
Chantemerle and Villeneuve are probably about equally as lively as each other, but neither are quite the banging party towns like you would expect in Alpe d’Huez or Les Deux Alpes. Both have traditional restaurants as well ones with more modern menus. There are two pretty good night clubs in Villeneuve and one ’strangely french’ [...]

- A hike around St Bonnet en Champsaur
My friend Lin and I decided to travel south from Serre Chevalier to take a look at the area known as Champsaur (literal translation, "fields of gold"). My inspiration for the trip was a book of watercolour illustrations by Alexis Nouailhat featuring landscapes in Champsaur and Valgaudemar. We took the RN94 via Savines le Lac [...]

I suppose this will happen if you live on a fault line, after all that is the whole reason The Alps are there in the first place! Anyway, for some reason I was having a browse around on the internet last night to see if the small earthquake I had experienced a few weeks ago [...]
