Imagine Serre Chevalier

February 1, 2012

You’re going to have to as the camera is all the way over there and now I’ve sat down I’m stuck. So close your eyes: it’s the mountains, there’s snow, it’s bright, there is an occasional cloud and it is pretty cold. There is probably more snow in Monetier, certainly on the higher runs that [...]

February 1, 2012

The UK’s alleged left-wing propaganda organ and government mouthpiece The Guardian has recently listed Serre Chevalier as one of the top 10 ski destinations to visit by train.

After much delay and speculation it is snowing in Serre Chevalier. A pathetic 1cm greeted us this morning, but it is now coming on strong and proper falling. Stay tuned it’ll be moments before I start whining about having to clear the parking again. Tags: Serre Chevalier
