No lifts and if you can get here… The resorts of the 3 Valleys are putting on a brave face and still welcoming visitors with as many Covid safe outdoor activities as possible in the beautiful snowy, spacious, mpeaceful, mountain fresh air…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With takeaways the only option in the bars & restaurants that remain open and a 6pm curfew in place, these are incredibly tough times for the businesses out here – the lucrative half term period now looks lost and many will be looking to next Winter for their ski fix whilst others still hope for that late season ride and maybe some Easter Powder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime we\u2019ll get the early booking 2022 deals, special offers and apartment availability bookings up next week. PS – It\u2019s still snowing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love this from Val Thorens Tourism:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not going to lie, the skilifts won\u2019t open right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During these holidays you won\u2019t hear: \u201cChristine, let\u2019s meet up in 10 at the top of the Plein Sud chairlift.\u201d More likely is: \u201cChristine, let\u2019s meet up in 1h30 at the top of the Plein Sud lift, are you going up on snowshoes or with your tourskis ?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t hear: \u201cWooooow it\u2019s freezing on the lift, there\u2019s too much wind \u201d but \u201cWell it\u2019s rather warm when you hike up on foot\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There won\u2019t be any coming out of Malaysia at 4am with: \u201cTomorrow we\u2019re skiing, right?\u201d There will however be a : curfew at 6pm \u201cSome soup and off to bed, tomorrow we\u2019re getting up early to do some electrical mountain biking .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There won\u2019t be any \u201cFull out until the bottom, last one there pays a round\u201d but more: \u201cNot too fast, we spent 2h hiking up, let\u2019s enjoy the descent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won\u2019t be able to say: \u201cLet\u2019s have a raclette on the terrace of Chalet des 2 lacs\u201d but we\u2019ll say: \u201cA take-away raclette from La Belle en Cuisse ? \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won\u2019t see a crowd dancing at 00:45 am on the dancefloor of the Wild & Savage, but we\u2019ll see people at 16:30 on the ice skating rink, showing off their best twirls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won\u2019t hear : \u201cMr. Dusse, you\u2019re planting your sticks all wrong\u201d more like : \u201cMr. Dusse, you need to take off the skins before starting the descent, otherwise it won\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve understood it, our resort remains open for those who want to enjoy the mountains. And we hope you will love Val Thorens differently…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
