Skiing in Italy


Oh, Courmayeur, how we love you. What a fantastic place to ski with the family. Lovely big, wide open runs, lots and lots of cute little restaurants and cafes with great food, really friendly lift operators (they all zoom behind the lift to hoik up any small ones, making it very easy on the parents), lots of 'Grazie's and 'Prego's - what's not to love? We treated ourselves for once to a proper lunch at a restaurant - not something you want to do too often here given the prices - but it was worth it, and the girls amused themselves by hurtling down the little adjoining slope on one ski - real hot-doggers.

Lunch is an extended affair here - one guy even brought his slippers to wear!
