7 year in a row, and now we're back from yet another successful skiing trip in the French Alps! First family ski holiday was in Vail Colorado, but with young children it's simply too far to travel. Well, a week in Courchevel is exactly what anyone needs. A winter wonderland with scenery from a Christmas card. A true escape from reality, this alpine French getaway is a mix of years of tradition and true luxury.
A week of skiing on beautifully groomed pistes, apres-skis on our sun drenched terrace, truffle fondue and just a tad of champagne is enough to make any girl happy. Sitting around the open fire in the evening with full bellies and my beloved family for company and the kids learning basic French, drinking coffee on our apartment's balcony facing the slopes. and top top it all, this year we befriended another London couple who we got on with like a house on fire and meeting up with next week already :-)
To say the hotel is conveniently located is an understatement. It has pole position just two minutes walk from the lifts that sweep you up into the Trois Vallees. And I mention it every year, but the ski shop staff help you put your boots on and take them off at the end of the day - something that makes me ridiculously happy lol! And yes, we've already booked next year, goes without saying!
