The holidays have given me some great opportunities to ski and socialise with our visitors, the first day was a great day over to Alagna with our six South African visitors including a great lunch stop at Guglielmina, never disappointing in its breathtaking view and a repeat fabulous day with our loyal visitors the Howell family and Guy and crew including an other obligatory lunch stop at Guglielmina.
After a snowfall just before and during half term week, this gave us the opportunity with a little walk included to find some fresh tracks, we took a day out with Rudy the alpine guide walking upto Lake Perrin with touring skis and then a fantastic descent down bringing us out on the run home to the village where we stopped at Frantze with a great lunch provided by Francesca.
The heavens then opened and we were given POWDER! This gave us an amazing day out with the Alpine Guide Stefano, you didnt even have to go very far to experience it, half a day was spent in the gulleys on Bettaforca making fresh tracks then a ski down through the forest at Frachey to end up with a great lunch at another favourite pitstop La Grange.
The snow on piste is in fantastic condition too as the temperatures have now dropped slightly but with clear blue skies and sunshine for the last few days which was perfect to celebrate Lady's day in Italy on the 8th March with a ski around the Monterosa area and to the Vigevano refuge for lunch with a stunning view with the low cloud in the Alagna valley.
