Traditions

Chocolat Chaud on this terrace on the Champagny side of La Plagne is one of the many Grand Chiens traditions.

This year, the snow in the background is less convincing than normal... it would be fair to say that it has been a fairly rubbish winter in the French Alps, but the resort here has made a massive effort to keep even the lower pistes in excellent shape.

Not much off-piste fun to be had this week though...
