Alpe D’Huez<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

When sitting in the office (or the WFH kitchen table), daydreaming of your time on the slopes, what is it that comes to mind? I think it\u2019s safe to assume it won\u2019t be going through airport security, or arguing with the couple in room 2 over the last pain au chocolat.<\/p>\n

We have collected a few of the gasps and memories that have inspired us over the years, and kept us going through these tough non-skiing times.<\/p>\n

Adrenaline Booster – Le Grand Couloir<\/h3>\n

Starting off with one of those daunting (but definitely not well-groomed) pistes – and certainly one that\u2019ll give you something to remember. Le Grand Couloir in Courchevel<\/a> is renowned as one of the most difficult black runs in the 3 valleys.<\/a><\/p>\n

Glorious panoramic views over La Combe de la Saulire will accompany you along this tricky run. But you\u2019d better take those mental pictures carefully at the start, as you\u2019ll be making your way along a narrow ridge. But don\u2019t worry, as you come to the bottom of the run it opens out and after a good snowfall this really is one for the bucket list.<\/p>\n
