After the heavy snowfall of the last couple of weeks it was time to check out the conditions!

Preparation of the slopes is well underway and the pistes are starting to take shape.  Whilst ski randonnée isn’t for the faint hearted it’s a great all round work-out and enables you to get off the beaten track to places as yet unexplored!  

On this occasion we hiked from Samoëns 1600m up to the top of Tête de Saix.  We certainly didn’t make first tracks but it was a magical walk up and an amazing ski down on a beautiful sunny afternoon!
