Today is quite cloudy, with flat light, so we decided to take a day off skiing and to relax. we visited a small resort between Bourg and Val d'Isere called St Foy. This resort only has 4 lifts and approx. 20 runs but it is quite a size and beautifully designed and crafted.
All the accommodation is very pleasing to the eye and the restaurant we had coffee at was great (See above picture). We looked around the resort and picked up some information. The lift passes are nice a cheap, so Fi and L will pop back when we fancy some relaxing, easy skiing.
Val d'Isere was quite cold and cloudy. They could do with some more snow in the resort as much of what is left is very brown and dirty. We found a quaint tea/pastry house and had a light lunch (well Fiona and I had a light lunch whilst Jenny & Simon got stuck into some very nice cakes).
We are eating in tonight, Fiona is making a beef steak strogonoff with rice. Jenny and Simon will be leaving us tomorrow, taking the train to Grenoble centre and then a taxi to the airport.
If the cloud goes away, we plan to ski La Plagne. Fingers Crossed!!
