We planned to move from Bourg St. Maurice up to Tignes Les Breviere at 1550m , so packed up the van once we had done some more laundry. Next stop was Super U for fuel, LPG and food shopping. Fully stocked we headed up the mountain into falling snow. The road was clear but as we turned off to Les Breviere it hadn't been snow ploughed - Tina was instantly on edge fearing that we would slip off the edge . I was loving it!
bit of snow........
free parking spot
We had loads of grip and didn't need to put the chains on. Once at the carpark we chose our spot and parked up. Shovel out, I cleared the fresh snow from around the van. We had been here 11 months ago but it was snow free and very warm.
The snow was lovely and as always creates a wonderful silence. We settled in for the evening, heating on, front thermal screen on - snug as bugs in a rug.
Thurs 5th
- 14 deg C overnight - but we were ok. Blue sky day, so ski kit on and off to buy a pass. What a fun day we had on the fresh snow.

ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous. You lucky devils. Keep safe. Spring has arrived in the UK. We had super sunny day and 15 degrees here in East Anglia.
