A touch of guilt that our new found passion for skiing does not rest well with Kyla's need for a decent walk - and the risk of relatives arriving early from the UK whilst we were still on the slopes caused us to abandon plans for another day at
Les Gets. Kyla had another trip up to La Croisette on Le Saleve. We had not been for a few months.
And what a surprise. Sleds on one side and skiers on the other. It may not be Verbier but there was a real button lift with a definite downhill slope (complete with piste-basher) just a few minutes from home. Shame our skiing boots were at home! Defintely an option for the a quick skiing fix in the future. and perhaps a first introduction to alpine sports for our nieces?
Off we headed in our snow boots - but soon understood why people use raquettes. Regardless we pushed on for some spectacular views and Narniaesque walks through snow-laden trees.
Next time we'll hire some raquettes from the rental shop - or may even try out some cross-country skis on the prepared pistes on the top. (but alas note no dogs allowed on these pistes) ...
