This is the third letter of the season from The Clubhouse. If you‘ve missed the others, you can find them here.

New snow coming
January is almost over and we’re looking forward to some more sunny days ahead but first of all we’re looking forward to some more snow. And it’s coming soon. Have a look at MetCheck for details.

This year the pattern seems to be – a huge dump that lasts three or four days (when it just snows non-stop) followed by a week or so of nothing but sunshine. This means there’s plenty of snow on the pistes (and everywhere in the valley the conditions are still good apart from possibly Le Tour where the wind hasn’t helped) with clear skies and good light, no lift or food queues and free runs all day long. But the off-piste gets skied out quickly and we’re looking forward to the next fresh fall.

New food at The Clubhouse
We’ve changed things a bit on Sundays because we listened to what you wanted. We’ve dropped the tartiflette and from now on Sundays will be what they were meant for – Sunday roast. Depending on what our chef decides we’ll be serving chicken, lamb, beef or pork with some great spuds and veg and the world’s best gravy. This will all happen between 4 and 8pm every Sunday. Booking advised on +33 (0)4 50 90 96 56 and it will cost you just €20 including dessert.

More from us in a couple of weeks.
