Being a university student means one-thing long holidays!
With the Easter break on the horizon me, my parents, plus our adopted child,
(my best friend) booked to go skiing in the 3 valleys for week. We stayed in
Meribel, in Chalet Leonardo, which was part of Crystal Ski. The beauty of chalets is that you get a huge
breakfast every morning, afternoon cake, a 3-course dinner every night with pretty much
unlimited wine and an amazing cheeseboard. The downside is you come home the size of a house despite
skiing everyday. However all the staff are so friendly, and the other guests
staying in our chalet were great.
The skiing in the 3 valleys is like no other. I’ve visited
the area many times and it never fails to impress. The sheer scale of the resorts
means you can go somewhere different every day, experiencing different terrains,
and landscapes. Nothing can compare to that feeling you get when you’re at the
top of the mountains with the sun beaming down on you and the snow glistening
beneath your skis. The most memorable days are when the sky is royal blue, with
a fresh layer of powder on the slopes. Lunchtime stops rarely involve light
food, instead you’ve just got to embrace the carbs and forget the diet.
A week in the Alps flies by and before you know it its times
to go home. Yesterday we left a blue-sky day in the resort and returned to a cloudy
and rainy day back home. Definitely back
to reality! The countdown now begins for next years ski holiday.
Enjoy!
Love
