A lovely, lovely work day on the mountain.

Today was a lovely, lovely day on the mountain. The sky was very blue. If you’re a skier you’ll know the type of blue; deep and intense. The mountains were white and sparkled and shimmered in the sunshine. I have a burnt nose .... tut, tut, .... forgot my sunscreen! But I had my mind on other things, you see I was working, honest.

We skied over to Courchevel 1650. So starting at St Martin de Belleville with a few chat breaks in between it took us 1h10 to the bottom of the telecabine in 1650. And what a ski, ahhhhhh, what a ski indeed.

Helen (of Alpine Club fame and in the pink trousers) and I, in the black ski suit, ski together a lot so we know when to push and when to chill. Today we chilled. We stayed on piste and carved and turned and flat lined our way over. Lovely.

As I say I was working (me thinks the maiden doth protest too much!). I needed more photos of this fantastic chalet and we skied over to get them. You see, working! Regrettably the sun was in the wrong place for the best shots so I shall have to ski over again..... what a shame!

This chalet for sale in Courchevel 1650 is a top investment in my considered opinion. It's a good price as it is for the chalet alone ....but .... there is more, it has a building plot so you can either double the size of the chalet or keep the 7 bedroom one and build a smaller one next door and then decide which to keep and which to sell. It’s a no brainer really, there's money to be made. Take a look.

A conversation came up whilst we skied regarding instruction and ski courses. We are in the market for something. I will let you know what we decide on after we’ve done some research – meanwhile if you can recommend anyone in the Three Valleys (we want the best) then get in touch.
