Fresh snow in the Alps

A dusting of snow on the peaks in the Rhone Alps….a tease of more to come this winter. All signs are pointing to another great year – time to starting thinking about packing away those shorts and flip flops and airing the salopettes and ski jacket (or 80s ‘all-in-one’ if you prefer).

This picture was taken by our partners at Consensio Holidays – operators of some of the finest chalets in Val d’Isere, Courchevel and Meribel. Contact www.oxfordski.com for more information on luxury ski chalets for this winter season.
