The only problem I've had with Dolomites is that (in common with most of Italy) Chalets just don't seem to exist - and we like that style. Otherwise agreed!

Dan, drove to Meribel this evening for dinner with friends and ate at Lillie, which is situated at the Rond Point Des Pistes. It was the best meal I have had this trip and recommend to you when you there.

Never had such a long day. In the telecabine at 8:30, back at 17h00 with a 45 minutes break for lunch. a splendid day out doing the "orange sella ronda with escapes to Santa Christina and Val Gardena... This morning, waiting for 11 as we have plenty of snow and one of us had to go to the doctor...loking forward to the fresh snow with a bit of sun around lunch time.

Well done for yesterday . We stopped for a shandy at 4:00pm . Today it's a bit heavy, very wet and slow at 1500m, much better fresh snow at 2000m. Already wondering where to have lunch ...

Beautiful blue sky day in Pila today. Snow holding up well, spring snow but some fresh powder still higher up. Lovely and quiet. A rather too good lunch distracted me from the skiing somewhat (see other thread)!

Yes it was impressively dark blue yesterday - as if flying in Concorde and looking out of the window!!Today is glorious weather too! Had a nice few hours and now off for some mountain biking on the valley floor and in the woods.
Church will have to wait till later:

It was a white out on the Italian side of Monte Bianco this morning in La Thuile. Brightened up a bit in the afternoon.
Lunch at Lo Riondet was a bit disappointing. The food was fine and the service very friendly and professional but it felt like a place that was trying to be too fancy. Wine list featured Armand de Brignac, Cristal, Ornellaia etc and 35 E for admittedly good polenta was too expensive (even allowing for truffles and porcini).

The Matterhorn looked good from Cervinia today. Snow is good shape, well packed down on the pistes.

South facing pistes below 1800 forget it after 13:00. Still, it’s been a day for sight seeing:

Really fun day yesterday in St Cristoph (next to St Anton) with wife and elder son, younger son is skiing in Canada with his school, lucky sod. Spring skiing with variable snow but found some good pistes and just glad to be here to be honest, for what is the very end of the season
Some interesting wines in our 3/4 star level hotel (Cepparello 2019, La Chapelle de Mission Haut Brion 2016) but fully priced so sticking to beer for the most part. There's an interesting restaurant and wine bar round the corner with a sensational list, but again you're talking central London pricing.

Mid April usually sees one big snowfall when most lifts are shut. Overnight Chamonix had, as did much of the French Alps, a really big one. 200cm at high altitude apparently. 35cm on the valley floor. Probably biggest snowfall in mid April ever - another weird manifestation of changed climate. All lifts shut today due to huge avalanche risk. Tomorrow could be fun.
