A season in the alps: Day in Courcheval

With our Espace Killy season passes we get 2 free days to a number of other ski resorts in the area. And as we now have periodic access to a car, we decided to head to Courcheval in the 3 Valleys, a favourite of both Dave & Paul. Unfortunately I had to be satisfied with being a mere pedestrian but it was a great day all the same. We parked the car in Courcheval 1550, sorted out our passes and made our way up 3 cable cars to the top of Saulire. While the guys spent time skiing, I sunbathed on the mountain and window shopped in the villages of Courcheval 1850 & 1550. I thought prices in Val were expensive but as Dave had warned me, Courcheval turned out to be much worse! This comes from the perspective of a seasonaire so of course the high society types (who were definitely in abundance) probably didn't think anything of it! Anyway, here's a few pics of the gorgeous area.
