Ladies, all the ladies!

In recent years there's been a real growth in women-only travel and indeed solo travelling women-only holidays.

That bloody Covid won’t ruin my ski trip – here’s how!

Thanks Bozza - I feel the waters just got slightly muddier with respect to that winter break we are all longing for. It's not all doom and gloom though we (as are most of our fellow chalet operators in Morzine) as excited as ever to be welcoming you this winter. The first snows are set …

Boardmasters weekend

OMG - Boardmasters is a cool festival. Perched on the clifftop above Watergate Bay this has to be one of the most beautiful, dramatic, epic settings for a music festival. And we are going to be there (7th Aug 2020). Well, at least the Saturday. Which (in my opinion) has the BEST lineup; Kings of …

There still is a (mostly gentle) banter that goes on between skiers and boarders, but frankly as long as you are sliding down a mountain with a smile on your …
