It was beautiful up in the mountains. The snow looked great on the slopes., and apart from the swishing of skis, it was so quiet. Above is a photo taken from the 8 cable car going up the top of the mountain (1834 metres above sea level)
Each day our lessons began at 10am, we stopped for an hour for lunch and then skiing until 3pm. It was a strange family holiday. The boys were in Kids Ski Club, Phil in an intermediate group, and me in beginners. So we didn't see each other for most of the day (some people would say this was an ideal holiday). We had lunch in different restaurants or cafes, depending on which restaurant was closest to the slope we were skiing on closest to lunchtime! By 3pm we were pretty exhausted and it was back to the hotel to relax, and get those ski boots off our feet!
After a long day of skiing we had a hot chocolate and a piece of cake in the lounge of the hotel, then headed for the pool. There was an inside pool, and a heated outdoor pool. We chose the outdoor pool. It was kind of surreal to be in a pool in -5 degrees Celsius surrounded by snow, but great fun and really relaxing! The kids loved jumping out of the pool, making a snowball, then jumping back in to see how long the snowball would melt.
