My first ever ski holiday would you believe; Wengen.
Antoine and I decided to go on a 4 day vacation . We were thinking about going to somewhere warm but in the end thought a ski holiday would be just what we needed…We went to Wengen, Switzerland. A very old , laid back but fancy ski town. no cars , just trams and trains . You leave your car down in the valley and take a 30 min train ride up to Wengen, already an experience of its own I must say. I almost got the giggles and thought any minute I would see Heidi wave from the distance….
We stayed in hotel Regina , one of the oldest Hotels, still family run and know for their cuisine. a french chef would you believe who on the last evening allowed us to eat in the kitchen while he prepared a magnificent meal , well I stopped counting the dishes and just enjoyed the amazing food . I couldn’t believe how organised all the cooks were and how calm the atmosphere was. When you think about how many people they cook for and not just cook , it is more like art if you catch my drift. Definitely the place to go in Wengen for tradition, outstanding food, amazing rooms or at least we stayed in one but we might have been lucky as it was newly renovated and the bath was sooo cool. I wanted to take it home but you know , its not something you can smuggle out of the hotel that easily… 
Here are a few shots from the 4 days, great skiing, relaxing lunches and simply amazing times and yes I went back home rejuvenated but just that little bit more chubby… oh well !

Ciao,

My favourite run this year was defineietly in Champery, Port au soleil, Suisse, in March.  
Check out www.champery.com

It was just after Easter and it had snowed for 3 days straight. Amazing powder above the knees everywhere and not a soul out and about off piste.

I hadn’t skied powder like that for a while and had such a blast. The weather was kind of shocking but once out there it doesn’t really matter as long as you have the right gear… Can never be well enough equipped these days, it makes all the difference. Well I was equipped with great skis, clothing, a nice Merino neckwarmer which I pulled up to my nose and most importantly a big smile on my face which of course nobody could see …but definitely feel. What a blast!!

We had too much fun and were in a hurry to get in just one more run before the lifts closed so unfortunately I have no pictures of that day, only in my mind.  

See you there,

Claudia
