Went for a run yesterday morning; what with all that freshly fallen show it was probably not that long in kilometres, but hard work! Later did a walk to explore the rest of the village.
It's a very widespread village consisting mainly of individual houses in their gardens, and now increasingly big hotel (both increasing numbers of hotels and increasing size). There are a few ski-lifts and there is potential for many more. Though, environmental factors......
There are lots of little stalls selling tat, and a number of houses have a selection of skis and boots for rent outside them; the local shops sells tampons individually, not by the packet (so they are lined out in front of you and everyone else to make sure you get the number you asked for....). Some people have the snow variation of powered jet skis; jeeez, they are a nuisance – using a two-stroke engine they are incredibly noisy, and, oh dear, the smell!!!
Update Friday evening - when we left today at lunchtime, the village was nicely filling up with skiers. May they bring much wealth to the village.
