Val Thorens opens early and it's looking good!

 

As you may have heard, the legendary English version of this term was translated into English and translated into English. The few lucky ones who arrived in the mountains for the first time in the world. Funitel Péclet and take the Chairlift Cascades up to a small but perfectly formed 12 kilometers of track that they had all to themselves.

 

On Saturday though, the resort expanded to 25 kilometers, and with the extra space to ski the flurry of excited snow sports enthusiasts from all over France, Belgium and the UK, ready to get on the mountain and make the most of the first days of the season. The celebration continues with a successful open air party, complete with DJ and dancing in the snow!

 

We were part of this impatient crowd, and lucky enough to stumble across the cozy little farmhouse on the street of the sun on the way to our apartment; scrumptious pizzas in a small wooden house with sledges, sledges, lanterns and a mixture of other and conventional laundry and decorations - a lovely way to finish the day.

 

On Sunday we are going to open the tracks for ourselves. Snow conditions have been amazing, with a strong base of fresh air and a lot of sunlight. The Navy Café - the traditional slopeside alpine restaurant where we stopped for lunch - we're struggling to find space. Luckily, we did - a sunny spot on the terrace perfect for admiring the scenery with a croque sir.

 

 

The Ski Force Winter Tour was also on the mountain offering ski jumpers like Blizzard, Dynastar, Head, Nightingale, Salomon and White Doctor - and benefit from professional advice.

 

The weekend was certainly a success, with nearly 6000 skiers and boarders on the slopes, and the Val Thorens lift pass office selling a record 5957 ski passes on Saturday. The opening of Val Thorens undoubtedly marks the launch of the snow sports season - and let's hope it's incredible!
