Christmas Ski trip

We ventured to the French Alps for Christmas again this year, once we had seen the last motorhome out for hire.

We left on the 16th December taking a night crossing via Euro Tunnel, stopping at Calais Plage for a good nights sleep.We headed off in the morning reaching the Burgandy region by dusk, approx 6hrs drive. We made good use of the Aire de service, right by the river. When we woke the next morning, it had begun to snow, so we left to complete the journey to Samoens, 3hrs away.We drove through some heavy snow reaching Camping le Girffe at lunch. It continued to snow for the next 4 days.

We took in some great ski-ing for the next 6 days, the sun shone and it got quite hot up on the slopes.

Night times were filled with games and DVDs, and the odd visit to the nearby town, just 10 mins from the site, for some apres ski.

We had to leave before the new year, stopping an extra day due to heavy snow, spending new years eve in Reimes after a 6 hr drive.

All in all another great Christmas trip.
