- Peter Stephen Williams from France writes:
Snow has been wonderful this week although the lift to the top of L’Aiguille has been closed much of the time because of avalanche risk. So many skiers come to Ste Foy for the off-piste skiing. You can often have the actual piste entirely to yourself, which suits us fine. (You have no credibility as a skier here unless you have an ABS pack on your back!) The resort is generally quiet so no problem booking the better restaurants (either of them) & no queues at the bars. Strongly recommended. But only after we go home next weekend.
