Snowy La Plagne

A mid-winter mini-break found us flying from Manchester to Geneva, then a road transfer the 3hours to La Plagne for a few days of relaxation in the snow. The weather was mostly sunny, fairly warm and dry with no new snow but sufficient for everyone to go skiing and me to go walking or running. There was plenty of time to enjoy doing not a lot, read a fiction novel (something I rarely settle into) and have a good time socialising. Enjoy the photos....

Tim's first time on skis for quite a while
La Plagne Centre
Forest trail up the mountain
View across the valley
View of Mont Blanc in the distance

Dog-sledding
Mont Blanc way off in the distance
Beautiful and peaceful trail
World Telemark ski competition just metres from our apartment
La Plagne Centre
Solitude up on the cross-country trail....I was running it though!
Nice to bump into Tim on the mountain
Dogs eagerly barking...and high up on the mountain I spied some mountaineers
Delightfully empty cross-country trail to run on
Inov8 Orocs an absolute necessity on the icy trails and snow
Sunset on our last night
