from Saulire continue with a private gondola<br>lift ride up, a drink as you watch the sunset over the mountain, and then a torchlit ski descent accompanied by ski instructors on a run freshly groomed for your small group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also <em>\u201cFirst Tracks\u201d<\/em> with <em>Les Pierres Plates<\/em> restaurant where every Wednesday morning, a small group of lucky skiers will have the  opportunity to admire a magnificent sunrise at 2738m, enjoy a<br>delicious breakfast before an exceptional ski descent on freshly groomed slopes all to themselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the 30th anniversary of La Tueda Nature Reserve in the Vanoise National Park above Mottaret. Home to thousands of mountain species from Moss to freshwater Molluscs to Ibex Mountain Goats. It&#8217;s seen as a great success in protecting and nurturing the forest, floral, fauna and overall ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Folie Douce<\/em> have confirmed that they will have music but there will be no dancing on the tables with more of a restaurant and cabaret lounge vibe &#8211; at least at the start of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Down in Brides Les Bains there&#8217;s a new bar called <em>Fabrik<\/em> and <em>Le Bis Trop<\/em> has a new stage area where they plan live music 3 times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looks like we&#8217;ll have a new wine bar venue in Bozel too &#8211;
