Alpine Ski tour, France

Off to Beaufort again .. this time there was just 5 of us, Sue had to go back to college during the week and Steph was busy at work, and no holiday left.

Chris, M-J and Dom were starting from M-J's parents , with KT and I setting off mid-friday morning.

We grabbed some food on the ferry, then drove solidly on down the autoroute network aiming for Bourg en Bresse where we had booked a F1 room.

There was freezing fog along most of the route, apart from a short section around Dijon. When we stopped there was a collection of ice on the wing mirrors, and awning. the front bumper was also impacted and the parking sensors covered.

Saturday morning started early with a continuation on the normal route, and we made good time to Annecy. Short stop for food at the supermarche, and we arrived in Beaufort for lunch.
The place was very bare..  little snow, but plenty of ice...

We wandered around to see the chalet, or rather where we thought it was.

A quick trip up to Areches and Le Plannay... similar lack of snow, with the single ribbon at Le Plannay, of man made snow.

Back at Beaufort we waited for the others, and before long we were carrying all our stuff up 2 floors to the apartment.It was not where we had thought, but near by, and central.
