Dear subscribers,
Our country still lives under curfew, travel is more restricted, but re-containment is avoided for now, the executive announced Friday evening.
One week before the start of the February vacation (for zone A), the profile of which is still unknown, all the more reason to enjoy a breath of fresh air.
The weather has been generous this season, offering a heavy layer of snow.
It is therefore towards the mountain that we take you.
Alpine skis will remain in the lockers in France but you are starting to know the music: there are snowshoe outings to do (but maybe not enough equipment to rent), ski touring (to be practiced with caution), cross-country skiing ... The mountain is vast and beautiful.
Our selection to help you find your way around this large playground.
