End of season snow, sunshine and parties…and the lift closing dates I can’t believe it’s the end of season already. Winter 2012/13 has really whizzed by in a blur of snow, snow and a bit more snow!

The weather does remain warm during the days allowing plenty of hiking and the scenery is stunning. The…
The high tech new ski lift at Les Prodains is due to open for February 16th just in time for the half term holidays in 2013.
